The Benro Bat series features a new tripod design with 5 pre-set leg angles that allow you to place these tripods in positions that are not possible with conventional tripods. In addition to the five adjustable, pre-set leg angles, the center column can be quickly reversed without removing it from the tripod to allow low-level shooting. In addition to the tripod, one of the legs can be unscrewed and connected to the center column to create a fully functional video monopod. The extended central column locking knob also provides better stability.
