Questions & Answers

Jeff B : Does the max height of 1430mm include the head?
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?Bill W : Great tripod. I recently bought the same combo and my wife decided she had to have one as well. We currently have 5 Gitzo tripods between us, but this tripod is a game changer.MICHAEL D : I wanted a light weight travel tripod that I can carry with me and can also get to its lowest position for seascape and landscape photography.CHRIS F : Looks to be a good balance between a landscape and backpacking tripod. I want it to be light enough to pack but still sturdy enough for landscape. It's hard to have both without spending a ton, so I'm hoping this works like I think it will. :)NANCY F : Photographer researched other photographers he respects who used this brand

My favorite tripod..

I was looking for a lighter travel tripod and it did not disappoint. I took it to my recent trip to Puerto Rico for some long exposure photography. I would definitely recommend this tripod and would purchase it again. It did not disappoint!

Great sturdy tripod! Definitely a great choice!

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!

Awesome Tortoise

This is an amazing tripod. Sturdy and can easily take on my d500 and sigma 150-600 without any fuss. Pretty easy to setup and the you have multiple options to do panning. Lightweight to lug around where ever you go. I would have definitely missed this if not properly explained by the guys at Adorama. Outstanding as usual. Thank you.

Just what I was looking for

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

Great tripod

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.

Benro Tripod!!

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.

Solid built

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.

Tripod with the options I need and want for my photography.

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.

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!

While compact in design, the Tortoise Columnless Three Series 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with GX35 Ball Head is a powerhouse in terms of stability and weight capacity. This travel-friendly tripod, part of the esteemed Tortoise Series, has been meticulously engineered for photographers and videographers seeking a lightweight yet robust support system for their equipment.

When folded, the diameter of this columnless tripod is a mere 3.1" (8cm), making it highly portable and a breeze to store in any backpack or carry-on. It's the perfect companion for on-the-go shoots, outdoor adventures, and professional travel photography.

The Tortoise Series offers two distinct types of tripods: one designed for photography with a flat platform for head mounting, and another for videography that includes a ball levelling device for head mounting. This particular model is a photography tripod, crafted from durable carbon fiber and capable of supporting up to 44lb (20kg) while weighing in at just 1.27lb (0.58kg). This impressive weight-to-capacity ratio ensures that it can accommodate a wide range of photography equipment without compromising on portability.

Included with the tripod is the GX35 Ball Head, a low-profile dual panoramic head that enhances the tripod's functionality. The unique design of the GX35 allows for a higher payload and facilitates smoother, more controlled camera movements. It features a dual panoramic mode, enabling you to pan the head from its base as well as from the quick-release platform. Additionally, it includes a main ball locking and friction control system for added precision and stability.

In summary, the Tortoise Columnless Three Series 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with GX35 Ball Head is a testament to the blend of portability, durability, and high performance. It's an essential tool for any photographer seeking a reliable, lightweight tripod that doesn't compromise on strength or stability.
