About Benro Tortoise

- Tortoise Series Tripod -
The small yet mighty Tortoise Series Tripod has been developed for those looking for a compact, lightweight travel tripod, that punches above its weight when it comes to weight capacity and stability. Without the addition of a center column, the diameter of a folded Tortoise is just 3.1" (8cm) making it extremely portable and easy to stow in a backpack.

There are two types of Tortoise Series tripods available, one for photo that features a flat platform to mount the head and another for video that features a ball levelling device to mount the head on.

There are five models for photo, all in carbon fiber with weight capacities up to 44lb (20kg) and weighing from just 1.27lb (0.58kg), meaning there is sure to be a model to suit most photographer's requirements. There are two video models available, both made from lightweight carbon fiber and able to support up to 44lb (20kg).


- GX Low-Profile Dual Panoramic Ballhead -
The low-profile design of the GX heads allows for a higher payload and smoother, more controllable camera movement. The GX heads feature dual panoramic mode, which allows you to pan the head from its base in addition to the quick-release platform, a main ball locking and friction control.
