Benro Trepied Photos Alu System GoPlus Travel Série1 4 sections FGP18A

I purchased this tripod from Vistek and have used it for wildlife and macro photography for about a year. It has good height but is light and compact enough (especially with the ability to fold the legs around the head to reduce length) to be taken on a short hike or packed into airline luggage. Overall my experience has been positive, but be careful when using the post horizontally for macro or other photography. The knob that fixes the angle of the post is quite small and fiddly. Sometimes you think it is tight, but then it can break lose with the weight of the camera. Always support the post with your hand until you are absolutely sure it is secure, otherwise the camera may come down with a thump on the object you are trying to photograph.
