Benro Aluminum Tripod Kit – 2-Series Video Tripod with S6PRO Fluid Head, 3-Section Flip Lock Legs, 65mm Flat Base, and Carry Case for DSLR, Mirrorless & Cinema Cameras (A2573FS6PRO)

Love this thing. Great tripod for the price. Comparable to Manfrotto’s similarly built video tripods and compatible with their plates. This is my third Benro tripod/monopod and they all still work great.

The media could not be loaded. UPDATE: it’s not that great, I’m getting a refund. Watch second video!Everything seems good so far but that loose pointer is a problem. I want to make perfectly the parameters for each set up so I can get up and running faster, proper readings are essential. I’d like to have that fixed or a new one sent out to me. I expected to deal with less than stellar counter balance and of course with my telephoto lens I need more granularity but again I can deal with it for $500. Over all it’s well worth the money just buy from a good seller. I guess I didn’t, they didn’t even quality check it before sending it out.

I already own a Benro S6 kit that I bought a few years ago. I love the carbon fiber tripod from that package, but the pan had very little drag and there's no adjustment. I had hopes the S6Pro would solve that issue, seeing that it's continuously adjustable. Sadly, the S6Pro head I received had no pan drag at all, no matter the setting. It's too bad - this head had all the features I was looking for, it's fairly compact and weighs so much less than most of the competition in the < $500 range. So I'm still looking for THE budget head - I hate using the Manfrotto 502 heads. Who, in their right mind, put that tilt lock on the wrong side?

My camera setup is not very heavy, on counterbalance setting 4 the camera tilts, on counterbalance 5 the camera returns to upright position

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM BENRO. Horrible customer service. They keep giving me the runaround and taking forever to respond. Good customer service is paramount nowadays and Benro should not be trusted. Please please avoid Benro and spend your hard earned money elsewhere.

It's the bestest, period.

I’ve been using the Benro A373F Aluminum Single-Tube Tripod since 2021, and it has consistently exceeded my expectations. Whether I’m shooting professional video projects or capturing creative content, this tripod has proven to be an indispensable tool in my gear collection.The build quality is outstanding. Constructed from durable aluminum, the tripod feels solid yet remains lightweight enough for easy portability. The 75mm bowl design, paired with the included half-ball adapter, ensures quick and precise leveling, which is a lifesaver during fast-paced shoots. The flip-lock leg mechanisms are smooth and secure, making setup and adjustments effortless.One of the standout features is its versatility. With a maximum height of 64 inches and a low-angle minimum height of just 12.8 inches, it accommodates a wide range of shooting styles. The independently adjustable legs provide stability on uneven terrain, while the spiked and rubber feet ensure a firm grip on any surface.The S8Pro Fluid Video Head included with this model is a game-changer. It supports up to 17.6 lbs, making it perfect for heavier camera rigs with accessories. The continuous pan and tilt drag, along with independent locks, deliver buttery-smooth movements for cinematic shots. I also appreciate the thoughtful details like the sliding camera plate with a safety lock and multiple threaded holes for attaching accessories such as monitors or audio recorders.After years of use, this tripod has remained reliable and shows no signs of wear despite heavy usage. It’s clear that Benro designed the A373F with professionals in mind, balancing durability, functionality, and affordability perfectly.If you’re looking for a tripod that can handle demanding video production needs while offering exceptional value for money, the Benro A373F Aluminum Single-Tube Tripod is an excellent choice. It’s a true workhorse that I highly recommend to any videographer or filmmaker!Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Good height and stability.
