Benro TMA47AXL Extra Long Series 4 Mach3 Aluminum Tripod

Fully extended, my camera sits above 7 1/2 feet. I can easily film over the heads of everyone in front of me. Very well built and the legs are easily adjustable. I will be purchasing a secon one soon.

This is the perfect tripod for me. I have a heavy camera set-up with Ninja & Ronin & external microphone & light. The Benro Mach 3 holds the weight well and extends to 6 1/2 feet+.

Everyone tells ya to get 'as heavy and rock steady' a tripod as you can carry - to get solid, sharp photos. This Benro Mach3 is it! Bonus - you don't have to stoop over to see into your viewfinder. It's Tall!

What I like: These go really tall, are really light and cheap for their height, and hold my camera securely. Also they come with really nice travel bags and plenty of hardware, including a short post for someone who doesn't want or need the center post riser.

Great tripod to take pictures of eagles at the Conowingo Dam. Very sturdy to hold long teleophoto lens and equipment

Good Points: Absolute incredible study as anything can go to the floor and way over head hight even without extended columnImprovement Points: It's a little heavy but to be expected

Good Points: The heightImprovement Points: Nothing, although chucking a ballhead in wouldn't hurt...

All good pleased

Just what I was looking for. This is big and sturdy with only two twist locks per leg makes it easy to deploy. I want it for city work (short trips), not much hiking, so no need to spend the extra $$$ for carbon fiber.

Ordered this tripod as a replacement for my old Bogan. Nothing wrong with the old one except it is way heavy and not really a field tripod, more like a studio tripod. The Benro came with a great carry case, a dust cover, tools and replacement spike feet as well as a short center column.
