Benro Video Tripods

Benro has announced a number of new video tripods and fluid heads, as well as a pair of monopods equipped with fluid heads.

The new tripods are available in aluminum or carbon fiber.  The tripods and monopods are available as kits with the S-Series heads included, along with a padded travel case.  They come in three weight load capacities – 5.5lbs, 8lbs, and 13.2lbs.  The sliding center column includes a 60mm bowl for fine tuning camera position.

Removable rubber feet can be interchanged with a set of included stainless-steel spikes to ensure footing on virtually any surface, and a retractable hook on the bottom of the center column provides a place to hang a camera bag or other weight to provide additional stability.

The new video tripods range in price from $200-$465.  The should be available soon at B&H Photo.

Benro Video Monopods

The new Benro video monopod kits support either 5.5lbs or 8.8lbs and feature a swivel foot for working some smooth camera movement (e.g., faux dolly moves, etc.).  The monopods also include the S-Series heads and a carry case.  The new monopod model numbers are the Benro A38FS2 and the A48FS4.  The new Benro video monopods range in price from $141-$280 and should also be available soon at B&H Photo.

Having used the Benro AD71FK5 video tripod and head quite a bit, these new models look enticing for portable or entry-level video setups.
