Benro A3570F Classic Aluminium Tripod

Very solid. Well built. Padded case is excellent, and has plenty of spare room at the top to allow for a large ball head. Hook at bottom of central column retracts when not in use. The central column can be reversed (camera upside down and below tripod), but it cannot be set at any angle. I am happy with this - the simple mechanism should be very solid.I needed a tripod with a high load capacity because I intend to use it with the SkyWatcher Star Adventurer astronomy bundle to allow astro-photography with an SLR camera.

This is a superb product. Excellent construction, nice bag too. Bought as a fixed head tripod for my Skywatcher Star Adventurer. Fraction of the price of a Manfrotto. Highly recommended.

This tripod has a nice finish and comes with a nice bag, tools and spikes to provide a better foundation in soft soil or similar. The aluminium tubing is thick and the two extensions are equally stable; click locks has a good tension from the factory and the smart three-point angle selector works wonderfully.I'm working with heavy old pro gear (Nikon F4, F5, 80-200mm 2.8 AF) and this tripod seems to be extremely stable with the BH0 ball head mounted - even loaded with 4 kg of gear it seems top sturdy. The retractable hook underneath the base column is perfect to add extra stability in windy conditions and a nice way to keep the camera bag off wet ground.The only con would be the weight - but clearly this tripod was designed with stability in mind; I guess you can't have great portability unless you're willing to spend over twice the cost of this one for a carbon fiber model.

Great piece of kit !
