Benro Introduces Three New Breeds of Tripod Designed to Be at Home in Any Habitat
The Bat, Rhino and Tortoise Collections allow creators to explore all sorts of incredible places as their creativity runs wild.
At home in the tightest of spaces but able to fly free at a moment’s notice
The Benro Bat Series has a new tripod design with 5 preset leg angles, allowing you to place these tripods in positions that traditional tripods are incapable of. No matter where you travel to, rest assured you will be able to use your Benro Bat tripod in any location you find yourself in whether it be a canyon, ice cave or the middle of the desert.
Flexibility, with a quick multi-angle adjustment, is the key feature of the Bat Series tripod. In addition to the five adjustable preset leg angles, the central column can be quickly inverted without the need to remove it from the tripod, for low-level photography.
The range consists of 4 tripod kits, aluminum and carbon fiber options are available, offering weight capacities up to 16kg and weighing in from just 2.1lb (0.99kg). These fall into one of 3 series - 0, 1, 2, each number denoting the top tube diameter. The Bat series tripods also inherit the key signature features of all Benro travel tripods: reverse folding leg functionality and portability. With an extended central column locking knob, it is also possible to achieve better stability.
