My own fault that I ordered a tiny tripod! This is a small travel sized tripod that is light and very well made. Really high quality, sturdy, steady and something that I would not have purchased but will definitely use.

Excellent quality monopod. Lightweight but very solid. The part I like the best is the ball bearing swivel foot for smooth panning.

Great, relatively tiny head with many functions, incl. a pan and tilt handle for video. The handle can be attached on the left or on the right side, or even removed if you do not use the head for video. The head has two independent panning plates, one under the ball head, and the 2nd one above the ball head. This allows to pan the camera on a completely level surface as established by the ball head for stitching of images. The head has two bubble levels. Since the head is truly compact, the controls may feel crowded, and actually they can even hit each other in some situations. See the attached images. One of them shows even 3 controls (pan handle and two dial knobs) colliding with each other. I consider this to be a minor issue, understandable compromise in such a compact accessory.

This is by far a great size tripod. It folds up to be slightly bigger than my carbon fiber travel tripod which works great but for my landscape photography, I wanted something a little sturdier in case it was really windy. This is a great tripod for that.

Since joining the AV team at my church we've always had to cut to our wide angle camera when our pastor would get animated and start pacing as our tight angle camera was on a horribly jerky head. However, this head is smooth! Please note, there is no adjustment for tension but the tension it has, I find to be perfect, -just enough to keep the pan smooth and without jarring starts (even when I wasn't paying attention and catching up to the pastor). Its also stout, which is important for us, -we're a set-up/tear-down church and not all of the volunteers are as careful with the equipment as they should be.

My first tripod was a Manfrotto. Then I discovered Benro and it's a very great brand with fantastic products! Before buy this model I was using the Peak Design carbon one: it has great features and portability, but this Benro is way better in stability. It looks great and is very light. It's taller than the Peak Design one when folded but it fits great on the side of your backpack. Be aware that for travel, if you need to put it inside a bag, you can easily remove the tripod head!

BENRO S8PRO proved to be excellent in work. Be sure to set up before shooting: - Set up for your camera. He did an excellent job with my task at the July 4th American Independence Day parade in Washington. Smoothly holds the camera in the installed position, beautiful panorama. In general, I am very pleased with the BENRO S8PRO. It is necessary to adjust to your camera, you will be delighted.

Delightful and easy to travel with. I used this for an immediate trip around my area and have used similar Benro tripods on previous trips across the US and international. The build quality is sturdy enough to withstand the constant torture that I'm sure I make it go through. Aside from the normal scratches, still holding up like it was on day one.

Sturdy and reliable. So far it is just what I wanted after buying multiple cheaper tripods to save money. Those did not cut it and this tripod is worth the extra money. It is compact and light for easy transport, but not so light that you don't feel confident using it. Great purchase so far

Does not have a knob to adjust the drag (tension) on the ball. I would not recommend if drag adjustment is important.

Very nice carbon fiber tripod. I?m 6?4? tall ant this tripod is more than tall enough for me. It is very solid. There is a hook on a spring for hanging a bag from the center column. It works fine but I wish the spring hook was sturdier. Overall, I?m very happy with my purchase.

This is a well-built, versatile, and most importantly, sturdy tripod. It has a lot of features and packs down small. I also love the VX series ball head that comes with this tripod! I have been very happy with this choice of tripod.

This ballhead seems to be made well and quality appears to very good. The only thing I would criticize is that the knob for the base rotation is a bit small

Exactly what I wanted. Great quality, the perfect height and no center column. The uniquely designed ballhead is perfect for panoramas.

Very well made. Happy with the purchase. But I do wish they used the manfrotto click plates though. Where you can drop it into 1 side and click it down... it is compatible. Just the old school slide in method.

This is my first time using a monopod and I'm very satisfied with the ease of use and the quality of it. I use this Benro Monopod with my Sony A7R IV, Sony 200-600mm lens and the Wimberley MH-100 MonoGimbal Head. I'm loving this setup and it definitely stabilizes me to get sharper images. If you need a monopod I highly recommend this Benro series and it's plenty tall enough for my 6ft height and even taller people. JUST DO IT!

This tripod is great, I have several Gitsu tripods and was looking for a lighter one with the same qualities, but less the cost. This tripod meets the bill, and the sturdiness is great.

A wonderful addition for my location kit. It is quite light, but sturdy and robust. Also very quick to set up and compose shots, and the actions are smooth and ergonomic.

Love the lightness of this tripod. Very easy to handle and set up. My first time using a Benro and can only say I’m very satisfied. Sturdy enough for all use. Highly recommend it.

Adarama is showing pictures of the VX25 and VX30 in the product picture for the VX20. The size difference is misleading

Coming from a smaller and cheaper tripod I was instantly amazed at the quality and look of the Benro Rhino. I’m 6’1 and the height of the tripod is perfect. I can raise the center column if needed and it still provides great stability. The spiked feet work well to anchor in the ground. I love the twist knobs as well. Looking forward to using this for many years to come!

We love our new Video head which we use with our Zeiss scope for birding. It is so easy to mount and dismount and the movement is so smooth. Thank you for making our birding adventures so much more enjoyable.

Perfect little table top tripod that is rock solid and can hold a good amount of weight. Used with a Nikon D850 with battery grip, really right stuff L bracket and Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 and it holds the weight just fine.

Nice sturdy tripod with a great height range. Ball head is great too! The upper 360 degree assembly allows for panoramas without the trouble of having this dial buried at the bottom of the ball head, though you do have a second one at the bottom also. Light weight but strong. using it without the ball head for my star tracking unit. Love the lack of a center column which allows me to get low and not have to reverse the center post and hang my camera upside down to get that low angle.
