“Solid” photographers know that a solid tripod helps produce solid photos. This tripod is SOLID.
It is in excellent condition, is fully functional, and has no operational defects.
There are 17 photos accompaying this posting :
Nr. 1-9 are of my tripod photograhed outside my home on Feb. 28, 2026
Nr. 10 & 11 one from the Benro website and one from a very well known national retail authorized dealer of Benro products. BOTH firms have a current price of $ 449.95.
Nr. 12-17 are from a large online retailer’s website; they duplicate my photos.
My price for this solid tripod is $ 249.
I also include in the sale a wonderful protective carrying case AND a short center stem for spreading the legs out very, very wide to get very, very close to the ground for intimate creative shots of nature’s plants, animals, geology, and other beautiful subjects. The case and short stem are in photos nr. 8 and 9, respectively.
Key Features :
> Carbon fiber is strong and easier on the hands during extreme cold.
> It caries 35 lb.loads. Folded length is 23.2” which fits easily in the case.
> Height 69.7” when fully extended with normal leg spread; min. ht. 14”.
> Legs have 4 sections for great height adjustments and use twist-locks. There are multiple angles of spread easily available to you by lifting the silver-colored plate with the Benro name; choose your angle and then lock it into a solid position.
> The case has two handles which fasten together with hook-and-loop closures.
> Weight : 4.3 lb.
> Two center columns - standard and short; the ballast hook on the bottom of the standard column holds a gear bag whose weight can also add stability in windy conditions.
> One leg has a factory-supplied padded grip for more comfortable over-shoulder carrying and cold-temperature hand-freeze protection. On the other two legs I have 'invented' my own protective similar device for greater versatility; these could easily be removed if you wish.
