Information:
Benro C-Series Carbon Fiber
tripods are working proof
you can engineer a lighter
tripod without compromising
the strength, rigidity, and
performance characteristics
professional photographers
expect and demand from their
gear. By incorporating
2nd-Generation 8-layer
Carbon Fiber Tube Technology
into the manufacturing
process, Benro C-Series n6
tripods have proven to be
40% stronger - yet 15%
lighter overall- than
1st-generation Benro Carbon
Fiber tripods, not to
mention the competition.

In a short time span, the
Benro nameplate has firmly
established itself among
pros and serious amateurs
alike as an uncompromising,
world-class camera support
system designed to perform
smoothly and reliably in the
studio or in the field.
By integrating advanced
technologies into the
manufacturing process,
Benro’s engineering team has
managed to reduce the wall
thickness of C-Series n6
tripod leg tubes down to 1.0
mm (from 1.5 mm) without
compromising the integrity –
i.e. the structural,
rigidity, anti-twisting, or
vibration-dampening
qualities of previous Benro
carbon fiber tripods. As a
result, Benro’s
2nd-generation, C-Series n6
carbon fiber tripods are 15%
lighter, 40% stronger in
load pressure, and 80%
stronger laterally than
earlier models, making them
60% stronger overall when
compared to competitive
brands.
By increasing the
fiber-to-epoxy ratio, Benro
engineers have improved the
impact resiliency of
C-Series tripods and
monopods as compared to
competing brands. In an
independent laboratory test
competitive carbon fiber
tubes had a breaking point
of 84.4kgs, while Benro
2nd-generation C-Series
carbon fiber tubes were able
to withstand an impressive
134.kgs. Globally speaking,
Benro C-Series n6 carbon
fiber tripods are the
lightest high-performance
carbon fiber tripods your
hard-earned dollars can buy.
Benro Tripods have enjoyed
incredible popularity in the
USA and Australia. Benro
tripods are known as Induro
Tripods in the USA, they are
practically identical in
every single way except for
the brand name. Outside of
the US, the tripods are
marketed as Benro.
Features:
 |
Adjustable Leg
Angles:
For an extra
measure of
flexibility,
Benro tripod
legs can be
independently
locked into
place at 24, 55,
or 80-degree
angles to enable
shooting in
cramped quarters
or on irregular
surface areas.
For
lower-elevation
shooting, the
tripod legs can
be spread at
near-parallel
angles to the
ground.
|
 |
Wing nut-style
Column Lock:
A wing nut-style
center
column-locking
knob allows for
secure,
intuitive-action
height
adjustments on
the fly.
|
 |
Anti-Rotation Leg
Locking System:
A new
anti-rotation
feature prevents
unwanted leg
rotation even
when the legs
aren’t locked
into place,
enabling fast
and fumble-free
camera set-up
times.
|
 |
Reversible Center
Column:
The center
column, which
features a
ridge-and-groove
design to
eliminate
unwanted column
rotation, can be
quickly inverted
for exacting,
lower angle
camera
positioning.
|
 |
Patented
Dust-Resistant
Rubber Lock
Grips:
Benro's
innovative
rubberized
locking grips
offer levels of
weather and
dust-resistance
not found on
alternate brand
tripods. Once
locked into
position,
sensitive
threaded areas
are sealed and
protected from
dust, sand, dirt
and water, any
of which can
lead to costly
repairs.
|
 |
Patented Water
Resistant
Bushing Design:
Most
manufacturers
use paper-based
leg bushings,
which over time
absorb moisture
and break down.
Benro employs a
patented,
weather-resistant
tap lock bushing
system that is
guaranteed to
outlast and
outperform the
bushing systems
used by costlier
competitive
brand tripods.
|
 |
Head Mounting
Setscrews:
Three
opposed
setscrews
provide an extra
level of
security when
attaching the
head to the
tripod’s
top-plate. Once
secured into
place, each of
the setscrews
can be tightened
down to prevent
the head from
slipping and
rotating out of
position when
the tripod is
angled off
center.
|
 |
Spirit Level and
Compass:
In or out of the
studio, a
built-in spirit
level helps keep
your camera
squared-off and
level to your
subject. In
addition, a
built-in compass
provides
orientation
coordinates for
recording
precise camera
positioning
data.
|
 |
Stainless Steel
Spike or Rubber
Feet: As
shooting
conditions vary,
Benro tripods
have the option
of screw-in
rubber feet or
stainless steel
spiked feet. The
rubber feet
provide a
positive, secure
grip on smoother
floor surfaces,
while the
stainless steel
spikes ensure
better stability
when shooting in
soil, sand,
rocky cliffs or
other non-stable
terrain. Both Rubber
Feet & Spiked
Feet come
standard.
|
 |
Center-Column
Hook: A
hook, located on
the bottom of
the
center-column,
allows you to
hang additional
weight from the
tripod’s center
of gravity for
increased
stability.
|
 |
Closed-Cell Foam
Grip: To
provide a
comfortable yet
firm grip when
carrying your
Benro tripod, a
thick layer of
closed-cell
nitrile
butadiene rubber
(NBR) wraps
around one of
the leg
surfaces, which
makes carrying
and working with
the tripod a far
more comfortable
ordeal when
shooting in cold
environments.
|
 |
Tripod Bags:
Benro bags
are made of top
quality
materials to
provide the
highest level of
protection and
ease of
transport for
your tripod and
head.
|
 |
Shoulder Strap and
Carry Case:
Benro straps and
carrying cases
are made of
quality,
high-durability
materials to
provide maximum
protection for
your tripod and
head. The
patented
shoulder strap,
included with
every Benro
C-Series n6
tripod, can be
used
interchangeably
as a strap for
the tripod or
tripod bag.
