Review of Benro A2573FS6

I got this tripod/head to use with the Panasonic GH4 I have on order. In the meantime I have been using it with my HPX170. Tripod legs are very sturdy and head is smooth. So far the only thing I don't like is the bubble level which is white and almost impossible to see. They should make it yellow for better visibility.

About Benro A2573FS6

The Benro A2573FS6 Video Head and AL Flip Lock Legs are based on an eighth-generation design of single leg tubes and flip lever leg lock mechanisms. Offering exceptional rigidity and torque-resistance, so critical to smooth camera movement, using Aluminum Alloy legs in combination with strategically select cast and machined aluminum and magnesium alloy components.

For an extra measure of flexibility, this Benro tripod legs can be independently locked into place at three different angles to enable shooting in cramped quarters, on irregular surface areas, or at ground level. It comes equipped with a choice of screw-in rubber feet or stainless steel spiked feet.

A wing nut-style center column-locking knob allows for secure, intuitive-action height adjustments on the fly. A hook, located on the bottom of the center-column, allows you to hang additional weight from the tripod's center of gravity for increased stability.
