Benro A373F Aluminum Single-Tube Tripod with S8Pro Fluid Video Head

Love this thing. Great tripod for the price. Comparable to Manfrotto’s similarly built video tripods and compatible with their plates. This is my third Benro tripod/monopod and they all still work great.

The media could not be loaded.  UPDATE: it’s not that great, I’m getting a refund. Watch second video!Everything seems good so far but that loose pointer is a problem. I want to make perfectly the parameters for each set up so I can get up and running faster, proper readings are essential. I’d like to have that fixed or a new one sent out to me. I expected to deal with less than stellar counter balance and of course with my telephoto lens I need more granularity but again I can deal with it for $500. Over all it’s well worth the money just buy from a good seller. I guess I didn’t, they didn’t even quality check it before sending it out.

My camera setup is not very heavy, on counterbalance setting 4 the camera tilts, on counterbalance 5 the camera returns to upright position

I already own a Benro S6 kit that I bought a few years ago. I love the carbon fiber tripod from that package, but the pan had very little drag and there's no adjustment. I had hopes the S6Pro would solve that issue, seeing that it's continuously adjustable. Sadly, the S6Pro head I received had no pan drag at all, no matter the setting. It's too bad - this head had all the features I was looking for, it's fairly compact and weighs so much less than most of the competition in the < $500 range. So I'm still looking for THE budget head - I hate using the Manfrotto 502 heads. Who, in their right mind, put that tilt lock on the wrong side?

It's the bestest, period.

Good height and stability.

I've been using this for nearly 3 months now. Bought it as a cheaper alternative to a Manfrotto.The product is great for what its worth, but I was extremely dissapointed that the baseplate tightened screw was bent. It still functions as it should, just with this visual defect.2nd, its not as sturdy as I hope. Because of the weight, it stays fast in place, but it does still shake a little. I realized tightening some screws helped.I did not bother returning as I needed it urgently for a shoot, and i have not had any new problems since. Overall I think its a worth buy if not for the defects in the one I got

Encantado con este tripode, más firme de lo que parece y los movimientos ahhh!! maravilla para video.He visto manfrottis de 1000€ mucho peores... Solo dos pequeños peros, aunque pesa poco para lo que es, pesa más de lo que me gustaría sobretodo la rotula y que no puedo poner la rotula en la parte de abajo, por lo demás genial (Filmmakers, en el rango de 250-500€ la rotula sobretodo de lo mejor) espero que esto ayude... ;)
