What ever happened to the Benbo?
I have two: the Trekker and the #1. They are both awesome in their ability for
infinite adjustability, although the Trekker is pretty lightweight for most
things.
Although they’ve been described as “wrestling with bagpipes,” I think most
people can get the hang of it fairly quickly.
I like that you can set it up, tighten the thing down, and pick up and move the
whole thing without the legs flopping around.
The Benbo #1 is my #1 studio tripod. But it is heavy, and I have a flyweight
carbon 4-section Gitzo for field work. You can easily reverse the centre column
on it.
