Benro TMA48CXL Mach3 Series 4 Carbon

Bought as a replacement for existing Benro tripod, but when I had assembled it it was so good I used it immediately and haven't looked back. It is stable, fits my existing head (gitzo) , a bit heavier than my current one but not much. Brilliant!!

This is almost a daily usage tripod for my landscape photography. From coastal to woodland it gives me the height flexibility I need and a quality to withstand the elements.

A very stable, well made tripod. All operations smooth, and secure. Very nice case.

I had been using a Benro Travel Angel tripod which was great as a beginner however, I decided that I needed something more sturdier so after spending hours reviewing tripods online etc and speaking to a good friend who has the same tripod, I opted for this, more so as I use the Benro Geared Head too. All in all this is an amazing tripod, solid, height beyond my needs, although it may come in useful in certain situations. Fast unlocking and locking of the legs. I removed the centre colum and replaced it with the shirt colum, to reduce weight, to make ground level shots easier and it makes carrying the tripod in hand much easier without the longer centre colum.

Good Points: Strong well made tripod Improvement Points: Na
