Originally founded in 1996 as a contract tripod manufacturer, Benro developed and began marketing its own brand name - Benro Professional Tripods and Heads - in 2002. By continuously investing in advanced tooling and precision machining in concert with a highly trained design/engineering team, Benro has spared little effort in developing and refining their product line. As a result of their commitment to quality and performance, Benro has become one of the best known, and best-selling brands in China, not to mention a rising star in foreign markets.
Benro continuously strives to develop lighter and stronger award winning products to meet the needs of the most demanding professional photographers in the world. In 2005, in cooperation with China’s Environmental Protection Agency, Benro once again demonstrated their innovative production abilities by introducing their first basalt carbon tripod. By gathering input from photographers worldwide, Benro has been able to engineer photographic products for designed for use by working pros.
Benro’s mission statement is simple; our products are designed and built to meet or exceed the needs and demands of professional photographers worldwide.
The Benro SLIM Series has 5 sections and the reverse folding design reduces the folded size to only 12.9" (33cm). But don’t let its small size fool you, this tripods open to an impressive 51" (130cm) making them a practical solution for photographers who need to travel light but still need to travel with a tripod..
The SLIM Travel tripod legs are fitted with anodized aluminum twist locks that only require a quick half turn to lock and unlock. A grooved center column prevents twisting when in use and can be reversed for low to the ground shots. Benro SLIM Travel features a lightweight shoulder, which has 3 leg positions and each leg can be positioned individually for uneven terrain. A weight hook is located underneath the center column for windy conditions and the rubber feet on the tripod are fixed. Staying level is made easy with a bubble level on the quick release clamp.
This version of the SLIM Travel series includes the compact N00 head. This removable aluminum ball head has an oversized ratchet style single locking control knob for easy operation and a panoramic scale. The ball head includes a blue anodized aluminum Arca-Swiss style quick release plate with a D-ring 1/4"-20 thread. A compact carry case is included.
