Benro launches lightweight aluminium tripods for outdoor photography

The leading professional photographic tripod manufacturer Benro has launched a new range of travel tripods the Benro Slim. Lightweight and compact, the tripods come in carbon fibre and aluminium versions.

Benro Slim kits designed for use with mirrorless cameras and DSLRs feature a removable ball head fitted with an Arca-style instant release plate.

The newly launched travel tripods have adjustable leg sections for uneven terrain and difficult angles. While the aluminium tripod weighs 1.2 kg, the carbon fibre variety weighs a tad 1.01 kg. Both the tripods can handle a payload of up to 4 kg.

The fact that the leg sections are fitted with twist locks with half a turn to open make the tripods extremely convenient for outdoor handling as they require less than 30 seconds to set up and start shooting.

Benro Slim’s carbon fibre and aluminium tripods have maximum height of around 122 centimetres (without the centre column), while with the centre column it can be stretched to about 146 centimetres.  The minimum height is 40 centimetres, and when folded, the tripod measure about 51 centimetres in length.

Photography enthusiasts can expect the Benro Slim carbon fibre and aluminium tripods to hit the shelves this month with price tags Euro 80 and Euro 120 respectively.
