Is this the ULTIMATE lightweight HYBRID TRIPOD? | Benro Cyanbird Review (4K)

[@petemellows]

That head is a really interesting design. Although, for panning, you still need to get the base dead level, which means adjusting the legs by micrometres. The best solution I’ve found (outside of my price range!) is a $650 Artcise tripod.

ooohhhh interesting one! Actually hadn't heard about those yet.

Such a pro now, killing it homie 👌

[@oliverwhone]

Psshhhhh please. Staaahhp 🫣

Can Benro Cyanbird change the plate to F38 quick release??

[@erichung9043]

Try out the Gitzo 0545T. It 's been my mainstay for international travel. Very sturdy with good damping.

[@oliverwhone]

Thanks for the recommendation. Have heard lots of great things about Gitzo tripods (aside from their price haha).

Great review, thank you!!

[@oliverwhone]

You are most welcome! Thanks for watching

Does the maximum height only represent the height of the legs, or does it factor in the center column being extended?

[@oliverwhone]

Hi Katie, maximum height takes the extended Center column into account.

@@oliverwhone I just got a tripod with the FS20PRO head. Very disappointed in the head. Stiff, way too stiff. Unit is just about unusable.

[@oliverwhone]

I’m sorry to hear that! I don’t have that issue with mine at all. In my experience Benro are great with replacements and even refunds. Have you gotten in touch with them to find out whether there’s something wrong with your unit? At that price you’re well within your right to get a product you’re happy with!

@@oliverwhone I have an email out to their support team. Thank you!

[@oliverwhone]

@@KatieF307 glad to hear it. If you have any trouble getting through to someone (I doubt it), let me know and I'll reach out to my contact 🙂

Came across this video and commenting to share the one I just picked. The Fotopro X-Aircross 3 Lite. Lighter than this Benro with twist locks and available with video or photo head.

[@oliverwhone]

Will check it out. Thanks for the tip, mate!
