Benro C-058EX C-Series EX

noodle0 · 02-06-2011, 09:01 PM

Does anyone have experience with this tripod? I can't seem to find any reviews online. Looking for something that is light weight for hiking, but still a reasonable all-around tripod. I'll be using a Pentax 67 and a Nikon D700 on it. It seems to be a good fit, only 2 lbs, reasonable height, hook for hanging stuff for extra stabilization, flip locks which I prefer.

Hrm, I dunno, there. With cameras like those, I might want to go at least a little heavier on the weight rating, just from the specs. (There's some Feisol products that might suit, there, at least by my estimation. )

I have a Benro C-1691 (with twist locks). I love it, I'm really impressed with the build quality.

With those cameras, particualrly the 67 which is pretty heavy I think, I'd be looking at the C-2xx series rather than the C-0xx series.

I have an older generation Benro, one size class upwards.

Mine is a C-158n6.

Differences are:
Mine has twistlocks (I hate fliplocks)
Mine is one weight/size class up (1-series instead of 0-series)

I'm extremely happy with mine.
