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!

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Very easy to setup, high quality. Great for heavy cameras & lenses. Highly recommended.

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).
