  • Three leg-angle settings accommodate uneven terrain or awkward shooting situations.
  • Dust and water-resistant leg lock design prevents dust or moisture from entering the interior of the leg twist-locks.
  • The set screw in the camera platform can be used to permanently secure a head to the tripod, providing additional security.
  • Removable rubber and stainless steel spike feet provide a secure grip both indoors and outdoors.
  • The retractable spring-loaded hook can be used to add stability with a sand bag or equipment bag.

The Benro C-258M8 Carbon Fiber Tripod is a sturdy, high-quality tripod that uses 8 layer, 2nd generation carbon fiber technology for its leg construction. The 8x tubing is 60% stronger overall than conventional carbon fiber tripods. The use of components made of magnesium makes the tripod lighter and stronger than die-cast aluminum components. C-series tripods feature individual leg angle adjustments, a reversible center column with spring-loaded weight hook, foam leg grips, dust and moisture r

    I dropped mine in clay on a junk yard shoot it cleaned up with a garden hose, I used it last week for an elk shoot with a 300 plus nikon lens and a 1.4. extender, with no problems.I added a kirk head,and a kirk mounting plate NO VIBRATION 4STAR as the twist can be a problem to learn and if tightened wrong can slip. I wish the shorter post was offered when purchased as it cost 50.00 after . Finally foam only on one leg works. I have never seen a Benro ball head, if it is quality it is the cheapest Arca-Swiss on the market. (I think(Benro and Induro are the same company).

    I got this tripod as a travel tripod, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.

    I was quite impressed when I removed it from its packaging, but within 20 mins of playing with it, one of the legs came right off from the screw locks and I could not screw it back in.

    I think if they replace the screw leg locks with the wing type locks, it might be much better.

    I don’t know how valid the 26 lb load rating of the tripod is as well….seems to high for something this light.
