The Tortoise tripod series from Benro is characterized by a lightweight, compact design combined with advanced features. The carbon construction provides increased strength and stability and is perfect for photographers looking for a balance of stability and portability. Ergonomic rubber twist locks allow you to extend and retract the legs with a quick twist, so you can set them up or take them down in seconds. For even more versatility, the thread can be converted from ⅜"-16" thread to ¼"-20" with a simple twist. The three-stage, self-adjusting rubber feet improve the stability of the tripod. Combined with the GX ball head, the tripod is ready for immediate use! The flat design of the GX heads allows for a higher payload and smoother, more controllable camera movement. The GX heads feature a dual pan mode that allows you to pan the head from its base in addition to the quick release platform, a main ball lock knob and friction control.
