Benro MeFOTO C1350Q1 is more than just a stand for resting your camera while you take photos, but a great piece to put in your camera kit while travelling or shooting in a studio setting. It is a ball head tripod that is constructed of sturdy and durable carbon fiber materials. This one is black and is made from a sturdy, compact aluminum alloy tripod that extends to 61.6 inches, supports up to 17.6 pounds, and folds down to just over 15 inches. The tripod’s legs can be spread and/or lock independently, with two-position angle stops, which is useful when shooting in cramped and narrow spaces or on slopes and uneven ground. There is a spring-loaded hook, which is located in a recess at the bottom of the center column, allowing you to hang a heavy object from it for additional stability or just for the convenience. These MeFOTO have rubberized locking grips and combined with anti-rotation limbs, this allows for super-fast and fumble-free setup. It can also be adjusted and used as a monopod when you want to see over crowds or barriers, or just need a high shot. This Benro tripod can carry photo devices as heavy at 17.36 pounds. It has 5 sections in each leg and a height range of 15.35 inches to 61.61 inches. The MeFOTO has a precision matched ball head, along with a dual-action heavy duty ball head, with an arca-type compatible release plate, which is quick, but also makes it easy to swap devices or break down the kit when shooting on the fly. It allows for 360 degree panning and the graduated panning scale helps this process to be smooth and accurately align images. It has an integral Bubble Level, which allows you to make accurate adjustments for seamless panoramas. The center column is also adjusted quickly, with the same twist lock action as the legs. These Benro tripods weigh in at just over 3 lbs. It is an excellent addition if you are travelling with your camera gear.
