I have had this Benro (only carbon) tripod about a week. I am using a Nikon P1000 on it right now. I am having trouble getting it steady on this tripod when I extend the long zoom. An example is last night I was shooting the full moon & if I let go of the camera I lost the moon because it pulled down . I need a lightweight, sturdy, compact tripod due to health& shooting wildlife do you have any suggestions on what I am doing wrong or any recommendations on another compact,lightweight, sturdy tripod. Thank you so much for your time.I really enjoyed your video.
It sounds like you're having more of an issue with the head itself. I had the same problem, that head it comes with is pretty weak, so I switched it out and bought a better one that is a bit stronger. Also, I think the downside to that P1000 is that when it's extended all the way, it's really front heavy. Usually when you have a regular dslr with a longer lens, they have a tripod mount on the lens that shifts the weight back to keep it more center balanced, but you can't do that with yours, so if you lie the Benro Slim legs (which by themselves can handle the weight of your camera if not in too windy conditions) then I'd definitely look into getting a stronger head for it. If that doesn't work then you'd probably need to get a whole new, stronger setup of both the legs and head.
I put the Benro IN2 on it. It's a middle of the road head, not to small, not to large. It holds my 5D4 alright, but still struggles with my 1DX2. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Z17T6ES/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00Z17T6ES&linkCode=as2&tag=lightbender06-20&linkId=02a7e5e21992b159a5cc43ce4914d4d2
Depends on what I'm doing. If I'm doing timelapses then I'll probably be using my square filters. If I'm doing a regular long exposure or some video then I'll use my round nd filters. I have a few videos about filters, and I have all the ones I use in the video descriptions.
lol. To be fair, I had no idea who he was when I started doing that. I just started calling it that because I have a tenancy to ramble in my videos and my wife suggested it to help me keep them shorter...which doesn't always work. 😁😜
Nice review! I'm really thinking about getting one of these tomorrow and found your video. Benro is good as usual it seems :) I too have several Benro tripods and they're all super good. I have no idea why people like about the hype for example with manfrotto, I tried a couple and those were just flimsy I thought. So I went for my trusty benro :)
Great video. You have a very understanding partner!! :-) I have recently purchased a Benro Mach3 TMA38CL CF tripod, and I absolutely love it. I'm looking forward to your part 2. Thanks for posting.
Lol! Yeah, nice video Brent and wife! Sorry I'm laughing, but you reminded me of myself when I got caught in a storm while doing a livestream. Oh yeah, nice tripods BTW! See you next time!
“There’s the box, now it’s unboxed” love it 😂

Nice review. Considering this Benro tripod led me to your video. How did you color grade this one? Particular LUT?
Thanks! Yeah I have some luts and some basic color grading for all my videos.
Brent Hall are they available for share?
I don't have anything that I'm ready to put out there yet, but I would definitely recommend film riot's luts. I do use them too and like them a lot.
Brent Hall ok cool.
Love the video man!! I can't wait to see your trip to Colorado.
Thanks Justin! Hopefully I'll have a couple Colorado videos up in the next week or so.
Thanks for the review mate!
Hi... I cant find part 2 :(
Yep timelapses were worth it! And Benro tripods are the best!
There's just no better feeling than watching some seriously epic conditions knowing that you're timelapsing the crap out of it! 😀 📷
Nice video. Can the ball head that comes with this tripod allow shooting in vertical position without L bracket?
Thanks.
Thanks! It can, but it's not very sturdy. I actually switched it out for a larger head and it's been a lot better.
@@BrentHall Thanks for the quick reply. Would you mind telling which head you put on it? Thanks.
I put the Benro IN2 on it. It's a middle of the road head, not to small, not to large. It holds my 5D4 alright, but still struggles with my 1DX2.

Enjoying your videos, thanks. I have subscribed, cheers from the UK.
Thanks man, I appreciate that, and glad you're liking the videos!😃
Very good video. Can the tripod legs adjust in small increments to make it easier to level the tripod on uneven ground?
Yes it can.
can this be turn into a monopod?
No, not this model.
What the hell?! There is nothing clear in Part 1, and I can't find Part 2 also.
Thanks for sharing your first impression 😉.
Just a question,does it come with spikes as many other benro tripods?
I don't think it came with spikes. 🤔
Thanks buddy
What filter do you use and what for?
Depends on what I'm doing. If I'm doing timelapses then I'll probably be using my square filters. If I'm doing a regular long exposure or some video then I'll use my round nd filters. I have a few videos about filters, and I have all the ones I use in the video descriptions.
thanks for the good review
Glad I could help, thanks for watching!
Love Benro tripod as well...thank you for part 1 review....stay dry...lol
Yeah, I've been a big fan of their gear for a long time now, and it seems it's just getting better! Thanks for watching! :)
hmmm... 5 minute Friday. Peter McKinnion's long lost cousin? *cough cough*
lol. To be fair, I had no idea who he was when I started doing that. I just started calling it that because I have a tenancy to ramble in my videos and my wife suggested it to help me keep them shorter...which doesn't always work. 😁😜
