Benro Tripster 0 Series Carbon Fiber review

The Benro Tripster 0 Series Carbon Fiber costs $184.95 on Benro USA and weighs 0.98 kg (2.16 lb) with its ball head, close to the SIRUI Traveler X kit. Its main trick is conversion: one leg combines with the center column to make a full-size monopod that reaches 142.5 cm (56.1 in), which is useful for wildlife, events or anywhere a tripod is not allowed. The ball head screws on with a 3/8"-16 stud, so you can replace it later, and it uses an Arca-Swiss style plate. The five twist-lock leg sections reverse-fold to a closed length of 48 cm (18.89 in), which is longer than you might expect from the spec sheet weight. Maximum height is 139 cm (54.72 in) and payload is 6 kg (13.22 lb), so it suits mirrorless and smaller DSLR kits. Benro lists a 3-year warranty. Other Tripster versions were out of stock or backordered when we checked. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the tripod.
