The small but powerful Tortoise Columnless Carbon Fiber Three Series tripod by Benro is a compact, lightweight travel tripod with high load capacity and remarkable stability. The columnless design makes it versatile and lightweight for travel and reduces the likelihood of shake commonly associated with the high positioning of the central column. This is particularly important when capturing video content. The legs offer independent opening and three locking positions, and incorporate automatic adjustment of the leg angle for quick and secure adjustment. The spider of the legs is made of aluminum and features 1/4"-20 accessory mounts for extension arms, screens, lights, and many more. The rubber feet have three different contact surfaces that provide grip whether the legs are vertical, angled, or almost horizontal in their placement.
