Amazing tripod strong and sturdy

This tripod is great! A little on the heavy side but it's extremely stable and for my beefy setup with the big lens I don't need to worry about it toppling over. Quality product and easy to use. One of my best photography purchases so far!

Benro Tripod

Easy to use and very sturdy. Haven?t carried for long distances so not sure how light weight it is.

Very versatile and durable.

I love this tripod. It's very easy to carry though being bigger than my previous aluminum tripod. The QR tripod head works great along with this. I know the camera or the lens is secure on it and don't need to double check when I need to move to different location close by. Would definitely recommend this tripod to anyone.

Strong and light weight. It feels sturdy and the legs adjust easily. I'm very happy with it.

Quality tripod

It's a good tripod but there are 2 things I'm not a fan of. You really have to crank down the lock on the center post or it will shift left and right very easily. There's also a bit of play in the tripod so it's not as steady as my Manfrotto in windy conditions. However I have been using this tripod for over a year and nothing has broken yet (my Manfrotto had many plastic parts break). Overall I really like it and the extra height comes in handy. Especially at viewpoints where the vegetation has gotten a bit too tall.

Benro Series 3 Long Tripod

I love this tripod for it's height - no more uncomfortable bending over to look through my camera's viewfinder. Even better is not having to raise the center column for a lot of the shooting I do which equals greater stability of the camera on the tripod. Highly recommended!

Awesome Awesome Awesome

What can I say. This tripod is light & built well. Spend the money invest in a good tripod. It will last you a lifetime. I use it with my 500mm f/4 & 200-500mm f/5.6 occasionally. Works superbly. You won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend it.

Great tripod!

I owned a Manfrotto carbon fiber 055 for many years, and I loved it until it started breaking and cracking on me. I had to replace the center column once, but it broke for a second time, and I refused to fix it. That's when I decided to buy the Benro March3 9X Carbon Fiber. It's been a short while with it, but so far I absolutely love it. It's more stable and sturdy than my Manfrotto. The way this is built I don't think I will have a problem with the center column. So far, I am delighted with this purchase.

Good

It's much more expensive buying it here in the US than in China.

Excellent Tripod

It’s very light and sturdy. It is perfect with the Benro B 2 head. It’s solid with a D610 and Tamron 150-600. I highly recommend this for its light weight and sturdiness. I like the the long version for the uneven terrain.

Very sturdy

I have only been using my tripod for a short while but it has been great! Easy to carry and easy to set up. I was surprised at how sturdy the tripod is and how well made the carrying case is, for the price. The only thing I can't figure out is there is a small strap that hangs from the main shoulder strap of the case, of which I'm sure has a use, but I can't figure it out.

Great stability for the weight

This tripod is extremely rigid for its size and weight. It replaced my Manfrotto 055xPro3 and hasn't let me down once. I use a Sony A7RII with the 24-70 GM primarily(about 5 pounds).

Great stability for the weight

By Spencer P.

This tripod is extremely rigid for its size and weight. It replaced my Manfrotto 055xPro3 and hasn't let me down once. I use a Sony A7RII with the 24-70 GM primarily(about 5 pounds).

As part of Benro's most advanced range of photo tripods, the Mach3 TMA28CV2 tripod kit combines classic design with advanced materials. High performance twist locks and magnesium castings make this 9x carbon fiber tripod ideal for indoor or outdoor photo shoots. Included in the kit is a triple action ball head with an arca-swiss style plate with individual controls for pan lock, drag and ball lock.

Three Way Head
The Mach3 tripods kits contains a 3 way tripod head with quick release plate that can be used in both "portrait" and "landscape" orientation. Not only is it capable of all the adjustments necessary for still photography, but also several video movements.

9x Carbon Fiber Legs
The Mach3 family of tripods features Benro's signature 9x Carbon Fiber legs. Constructed from 9 layers of carbon fiber, these legs maximize the strength-to-weight ratio of the tripod legs, which gives you the sturdiness you require without weighing you down.

High Performance Twist Locks
The Mach3 family of tripods utilize high performance, rubber twist locks for improved ergonomics and resistance to the elements.

Monopod Conversion
It is extremely simple to convert one of the Mach3 TMA28CV2's legs into a monopod adding even more versatility.

Magnesium Casting
Wherever possible Mach3 tripods employ magnesium castings, making them among some of the lightest tripods currently available.

Short Column
For ground level shooting a short column is included with the Mach3.

Spiked Feet
A set of spiked feet are included with every tripod on the Mach3 family for increased stability when shooting outdoors.

Carry Case
Benro includes both a functional dust cover and a beautiful carrying case with each Mach3 tripod.
