Benro S6 Pro Fluid Tripod Head Review and Unboxing

[@JBubbs]

Better microphone or smaller distance to camera would do the thing in this video. I cranked the volume high up to actually hear something, and after watching I casually played other video but it was too late. Neighbours already called the police.

Hi, do you think this is a good choice for my P950 that weighs 2.2lbs? the reviews I saw people used heavier setups but I need to know if it works with lighter cameras too, especially regarding the counterbalance feature.

[@adventuresmidwest3065]

@@flat-earther my camcorder seems to weigh that much. I’m using a canon xa70. I also use a canon 90d with a full monitor that weighs quite a bit more. It’s perfect for both. I really like it. The only drawback is sometimes the pan feature gets loose if you tighten it too much. Good luck!

[@ParaKiteGliding]

Thanks for teaching me. 👍🏼 Realized that counterbalance on 5 isn't beneficial when taking stills of the moon, like I kept doing yesterday. 😂

i did love the 504HD manfrotto in school cinema i think S6PRO is the best to feel again that cinema sniper skill

[@omererdim]

Good video thanks

[@kimbeijar5702]

Fantastic review! Thank you so much.

[@mordavian]

Best review i have seen so far. Do you think buying this head and using it on a good tripod or buying the kit with s6pro may be a good choice?

[@adventuresmidwest3065]

This product was very nice. I still use it today. I don’t think you can go wiring with any of their products. Thanks the nice comments and checking out the video.

[@nndoorgaans]

Very instructive video. Thank you very much

[@josephzdanowski1085]

Six levels is good, but can you lock so it doesn't move vertical?

[@adventuresmidwest3065]

It does lock. It’s been a great head so far. No complaints.

[@stanyduh5427]

It is good for cinéma with lumix s5? What difference with s8pro expect the more handle for bigger cameras

[@adventuresmidwest3065]

Yeah the s8 is a bigger head for more weight. I have a canon 90d and this one is perfect.

[@stanyduh5427]

@@adventuresmidwest3065 great im gonna find a s6pro kit for 290€ which tripod legs u use ? Their aero 6 or a2573f seems rly good

[@stanyduh5427]

I find it perfect to mix cinema like head for everything it offers but with travel tripod legs that just hold the thing together and this one is 1n62 kilos and both tripod s6pro is 4 kilos rly cool

[@african7498]

There have been a number of videos stating that Benro's dont lock in the vertical (tilting) plane - and move when locked? They never stated what weight lenses they were using - maybe too heavy for the model? What have you found. I really want to like the S6 Pro. Very nearly bought one today but the reviews have been off putting.

[@adventuresmidwest3065]

Mine does move slightly but it takes a lot to move it. I am using it for airliners and wildlife so locking is not a concern. I do want to have very firm and smooth motion though and it does that very good. I have no complaints with this unit at all. Good luck with it and I hope you find a good one if you don't go with this head.

[@jshj5707]

what is the weight of the camera+lens you put on it?

[@adventuresmidwest3065]

The camera itself ids 1.55lbs. Add my tamron lens and it’s probably double that and the 18-135mm is slightly less. I also have a cage and mount an andycine monitor plus a mic. I would say it’s easily 3-4 lbs fully together with all accessories. If is a great mount bug it you want truly smooth action especially woyh moving subjects like airplanes, you will need at least the next step up but this one is pretty good!

[@jshj5707]

@@adventuresmidwest3065 Thank you very much for the detailed reply. Reasoon I was asking is that I can't find information on how much maximal counter balance it is. Then I saw some commented that the max counter balance is like 2kg is much smaller than the max load capacity. I have a telescope rig that goes near 5kg.

[@laipingfung1608]

Is the quick release plate an acre-swiss type?

[@adventuresmidwest3065]

I don’t believe it’s arca Swiss type. You need an adapter for arca Swiss plates. It’s a proprietary plate from benro.

[@laipingfung1608]

@@adventuresmidwest3065 Thanks.

[@pgexpeditions1758]

is this reccomended for wildlife photography ? i have 600 mm f4 nikon fl/ed/vr lens .

[@adventuresmidwest3065]

You could definitely use it for that for sure. It’s got a very smooth pan and tilt. With aviation it’s difficult to pan because of the speeds of the aircraft and I’m sure birds would be similarly difficult but for the money, it’s really a nice head. Good luck!

Can i use it ? Will it hold that amount of weight ?

[@qozmiq]

You don't explain the things your doing to the head as your doing them. You're talking to people as if they already own the thing, and have used it for years.
