The Benro BV8 Twin Leg Aluminium Tripod Kit is a complete tripod system ideal for studio applications and handling larger camera rigs weighing up to 8kg. The kit pairs the 75mm-ball BV8 video head with a twin leg aluminium tripod. The BV8 head features a 5-step counterbalance system to dial in the correct amount for your set-up, and independent 4-step pan and tilt drag settings for precise control over camera movements. A Manfrotto 501/504PL compatible sliding quick-release plate is provided. All of the main controls, other than counterbalance, are located on the left side of the head making it easy to make adjustments with a single hand while operating the camera. For added versatility, the 75mm-ball tiedown stud is removable to convert the head to a flat base for use on a slider or other support device.
The 2-stage, 3-section twin leg aluminium tripod incorporates a 75mm bowl and offers sturdy support for the BV8 head. It features oversized quick positive leg locks for simple and fast setup, an adjustable/removable mid-level spreader, and dual spike feet with removable rubber pads. The tripod system extends to a maximum height of 160 cm, while getting as low as 71.1 cm. A carry case and shoulder strap are included.
