The Benro Rhino travel tripod series is a top choice for outdoor photographers who need to travel light but still have stable support.
Strong yet lightweight design
The tripod has a beautiful metal aesthetic thanks to CNC machining and carbon fibre (CF) legs that give it an elevated look. The braided carbon fibre tubing also increases the tripod’s bearing capacity by 13%, which is why it has such a good weight to payload ratio. Strategic holes in the tripod’s triangle seat also make it lighter to travel with.
Available in three sizes, the Rhino series has an option for various gear setups and each tripod is sold as a kit that includes a VX Ball Head and a padded carrying bag for a seamless experience.
Leg adjustments made easy
Grippable twist locks make opening and closing the tripod legs fast and sure. To adjust the leg angles, rely on the auto-hold trigger for effortless repositioning: When adjusting upwards, simply press the trigger until the desired angle is reached. It will stay open until you press the pre-locking button to secure the leg position. When adjusting downward, the leg will automatically lock into sequence.
Various tripod features
Reverse foldable for a compact profile
The large centre column lock adds stability to the tripod by strengthening the centre column. The centre column itself is reverse foldable, which allows inverted shooting if you don’t mind using your camera upside-down. You can also remove the centre column and one leg to transform it into a full-featured monopod!
When set up, it may be difficult to imagine this sturdy tripod fitted into a camera bag. It probably won’t since the folded lengths (35-49.4cm) be at the top of the size spectrum for travel tripods, yet once folded it’s easy to strap the tripod to the outside of your camera bag or slight it over your shoulder in the included carrying bag.
Add accessories to your setup
Three 1/4″-20-threaded accessory sockets in the triangle seat allows attaching lights, microphones, monitors, accessory arms and more. While adding accessories, the tripod’s three-step self-adaptive rubber feet work to improve stability. In windy situations, you can even hang a bag or some other weight from the hook at the centre column’s base.
Panoramic ball head included
Each tripod comes with a VX Ball Head with dual panoramic mode, which allows 360º panning from the base and top (quick-release) plates. Yes, there are two horizontal panning axes: one at the base of the ball head and another just below the camera mounting plate! This clever feature allows photographers to pan their cameras horizontally without levelling the entire tripod (all the legs) first. Simply get the camera plate level by adjusting the ball head.
The ball head controls are easy to use with ball friction adjustment built into the main lock knob plus an independent pan lock. The included quick-release plate has a safety lock.
