Benro, manufacturer of tripods in China for more than 10 years, has earned a reputation for their high-quality tripods, monopods and heads, which are built to professional standards at an extraordinary value. It is the only company that makes its own carbon fiber tubing and their recent “Quick Lock” Leg System sets the new standard in flip-lock technology. The Benro line is now being distributed in the United States by MAC Group.

One of the most unique tripods in Benro’s lineup is the Travel Angel, an easy-to-carry, ultra-compact tripod available in both carbon fiber and aluminum that photographers can take everywhere. Travel Angel’s unique 180-degree fold-over design allows it to be folded into a compact package (up to 20% smaller than conventionally designed tripods) that can easily fit into backpacks or carry-on luggage, yet set up quickly and achieve excellent maximum height and a rigid, stable support. All kits include a BH-Series single action or B-Series dual action ballhead that matches the size of the tripod. Dual-locking, dovetailed Quick Release Plates or Arca Swiss style Quick Release Plates allow fast and secure camera mounting and dismounting without having to worry about accidentally unseating the camera.
