Benro TMA28C Series 2 Mach3 Carbon Fibre Tripod

Built for photographers who refuse to choose between weight, height and load capacity, the Benro TMA28C Mach3 Series 2 is a serious working tripod in genuinely portable form. Nine layers of woven carbon fibre give the four-section legs their distinctive blend of stiffness and lightness, holding up to 14kg of camera and lens while the tripod itself weighs only 1.54kg packed. Extended fully, it reaches 155.5cm at eye level, and swapping the standard centre column for the included short column drops it down to just 31cm for low macro and product work. One of the three legs unscrews completely and threads onto the centre column to form a full-length monopod, giving you a 166cm secondary support without packing a separate piece of kit. High-performance rubber twist locks deploy each section in a single quarter turn and are sealed against dust and moisture for fieldwork. Magnesium castings at the spider and leg hinges keep the chassis tight without adding weight, and a ballast hook on the column base accepts a bag or counterweight for extra steadiness in wind. Both rubber feet and stainless steel spiked feet are included, so you can move from studio floors to muddy hillsides without compromise. A 3/8 inch 16 mounting stud sits at the top, ready for any compatible ball head, gimbal or video head. A padded carrying case is supplied as standard, making it easy to take everywhere from a landscape shoot to a wedding venue.
