PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Benro S8 Video Tripod Kit w/ Aluminum Legs

The Benro S8 video tripod kits are jam packed with features that you actually need. Built for HDSLR cameras with rigs and long lenses or the latest video cameras, the S8 kits support up to 17.6 lb. Equipped with a 75mm flat base with a 3/8" thread, the S8 becomes a versatile creative tool allowing you remove the 75mm half ball adapter to mount the head separately on sliders, jibs, or monopods. Other features include: pan & tilt lock, pan & tilt drag, 4-step counterbalance, illuminated bubble level and two 3/8" accessory mounts for attaching monitor arms or audio recorders directly to the head. This allows you to attach accessories without needing a cage or rig to do so. Available in both Aluminum Alloy and Carbon Fiber, each S8 Video Tripod Kit is based on an eighth- generation design of single leg tubes and flip lever leg lock mechanisms. The tripod itself was made in combination with strategically select cast and machined aluminum and magnesium alloy components. Multi-angle leg locks allow each leg to be positioned independently for quick setup on uneven terrain. The rubber feet can be replaced with a set of stainless-steel spiked feet, which are included. For additional stability there is a weight hook at the bottom of the center column for hanging a camera bag or other weight. Max height = 63.8 in Closed length = 31.5

S8 VIDEO TRIPOD KIT FEATURES

• 4-step Counterbalance
  Counterbalance will help you counter the weight of your rig or heavy lens. Each step provides a different amount of counterbalance: 0 lb. (0 Kg), 5.5 lb. (2.5Kg), 11.0 lb. (5.0Kg), 17.6 lb. (8.0Kg).
• 75mm Flat base head with 3/8" thread
  The S8 is equipped with a flat base with a 3/8" thread, allowing you to mount the head separately on sliders, jibs, monopods or half ball adapters. The S8 also uses a 504PL compatible QR6 plate.
• Independent Locks
  Both the pan lock and tilt lock can be turned on or off independently and are located on the operator side of the head for easy control. Tilt range for the S8 is +90 / -75 degrees.
• Continuous Pan Drag
  Dial in the perfect amount of tension necessary with the variable pan drag.
• Adjustable Leg Angles
  For an extra measure of flexibility, Benro tripod legs can be independently locked into place at three different angles to enable shooting in cramped quarters, on irregular surface areas, or at ground level.
• Flip leg locks
  Tripod height can easily be set by a flip of the quick lock leg levers, which combined with anti- rotation legs enable fast and fumble-free set-up.
• Carrying case included
  Heavy Duty Case and Strap included for handy transport and protection of the tripod and head.
• Stainless Steel Spiked feet
  Easily swap out the screw-in rubber feet for the stainless steel spiked feet to handle virtually any surface.
