The Tortoise tripod series from Benro features a lightweight compact design combined with advanced features. It is ideal for photographers who travel a lot and don’t want to be limited by their tripod. Tortoise tripods are easy to transport and can be easily folded and carried on a backpack. 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 converts from 3/8″ thread to a ” with a simple flick of the wrist. With the auto hold leg adjustment feature it’s never been easier to adjust the leg angle. Simply push the switch to the “open” position and adjust the leg to the desired angle. Press the lock button – and you’re ready to go. Instantly you’re ready for multi-angle leg adjustments. Three integrated accessory mounts allow you to attach additional accessories. The three-step self-adjusting rubber feet improve the stability of the tripod. Benro’s Foldable GH2F Gimbal Head is a full-featured gimbal head that features a unique folding design for easy storage and transport. It is suitable for use with large heavy lenses and has a load capacity of 10kg but weighs only 1.13kg itself. The rotating arm features an Arca quick release and can be folded against the tripod to keep the head and leg set combination extremely compact. In addition the rotating arm can be removed and used separately as an L-mount for Arca-compatible tripod heads. With the rotating arm removed telephoto lenses can be attached directly to the arm’s swivel. The GH2F is equipped with 1/4″ and 3/8″ threaded sockets for mounting microphones monitors LED panels and more. It features separate pan and tilt adjustment knobs and precision scales with numbers for easy matching and precise repeatable results.
