Benro Mach3 Tripod S3 Carb 4 Sect Long

Product Information

Fast forward a number of years, I was still investing in cheap tripods and while my later purchases were a lot better they really lacked the refinement and quality when I really needed something I could count on. The legs are designed to damp out any vibration, which obviously is a great advantage when trying to get those unusual angles. As part of our most advanced range of photo tripods, the Mach3 TMA38CL combines classic design with advanced materials. I've also used it with a 90mm refractor, and it does wiggle a bit more simply due to the distance of weight from the center.

It’s been used in pretty horrible conditions but I’ve been more than confident that I can turn around and let it go without fear of it falling over with my camera attached. The Mach3 family of tripods utilize high performance, rubber twist locks for improved ergonomics and resistance to the elements. There is something very humbling when your carrying everything you need on your back for a few days in the mountains. the Mach3 tripod seemed - on paper - to be a great complement to my 120mm refractor (~14lbs) mounted on a Stellarvue M2C mount (~4lbs with 26lbs load capacity).

Equipped with interchangeable screw-in rubber feet and stainless steel spiked feet for increased stability.

I'm using a Manfrotto 475B now and there's a bit more bounce than I'd like even with the elevator column fully down and locked with the thumbscrew. For me it is easier to adjust the lowest sections of the tripod to suit the terrain I'm standing on. It’s strong enough to take the weight of my Osprey rucksack with all my camera gear, coats and water bottle in.

Magnesium Casting: Wherever possible the Mach3 TMA38CL employs magnesium castings making it among some of the lightest tripods on the market. As part of our most advanced range of photo tripods, the Mach3 TMA47AXL combines classic design with advanced materials.

I would guess with your column fully raised the capacity drops to something like 10-15 lbs, raised 1/2 way 20-25 lbs, and all the way down you get the full 35.
