It pans and tilts, but what about adjusting for level. You can level with the tripod legs, but the level is off if you pan.

I bought this tripod a few months ago. The second time I used it, one of the legs fell off while I was opening it. I don’t recommend it.

I went back to digiDIRECT in Sydney, and they sent the tripod to the manufacturer. One month later, they returned it with visible superglue on the leg. Then, while opening the tripod in front of the salesperson, another leg fell off.

It will work for tracking, but will not be able to trigger image capture or change camera settings. Additionally, live view is not supported with Canon while using the app to use live view (either live view on the camera or live view in the app). Hope this helps!

That MinBird sounds very promissing for lightweight hiking. Can you provide the weight for just the tripod without the ballhead? ... and the weight without the ballhead and the long end of the center colume detached? That would be an important information for juging its use for ultralight hiking. I hope this tripod is available in Germany soon. Greetings from a Benro fan - still in love with my Benro Carbon Flat 🙂

@@BenroUSA Thanks for the information. 400g are very promising for lightwight hiking. Benro-Germany says it will be available in the beginning of 2025 - I am quite impationed and would like to add this to my kit any moment, to be honest. And I am very interested in the TableBird as well. That could be a very minimalistic option.

You're right, not a totally new idea. However, the FS30 ballhead is about a third of the price of the novoflex mini magicball. While it holds a little less weight, we think the price makes it a great option for traveling with a modest kit! Not to mention the FS30 comes with an arca plate and clamp system so it's faster to switch cameras and it has top panning right below the plate.

@@BenroUSA I would just like to know some more official information. Last year I saw the Theta and Theta Max for preorder on some shop sites but I have not seen any marketing material from Benro recently so I don’t know what the project status is beyond what little is shared on the KickStarter campaign page. With all the production delays Benro is no longer first to market with an auto levelling tripod and many backers have lost confidence in the product, and even in the company. I think that Benro needs to seriously address this. Not yet seeing any new marketing material from Benro for Theta and Tetha Max makes me wonder what time scale might be for introduction to the general market. In my opinion, Benro needs to address this publicly and not one on one with individual customers like me.

Thanks, this is great feedback! We'll certainly do better at more clearly communicating the benefits of our products in future videos. Is there anything else you'd like us to cover about our tripods that we haven't? For this ballhead specifically, we find the size and simplicity are really great for travel because there's not much to think about and it's simple to use. For the size (and the price), the inverted ballhead can hold quite a bit of weight. It's a great deal for traveling with an on the go camera kit like the Fuji mirrorless cameras, even something like a Canon R5 or Sony A7 with a prime lens would be right at home on it.
