The Benro HVC FLEXPOD features a patented, multi-function center column that can be positioned vertically or horizontally to provide optimum camera positioning to meet the needs of most any assignment. In the standard vertical position, the column works in a conventional manner. In the horizontal position, the center column offers you the freedom to position the camera in difficult and/or limited access areas, including the ability to extend the camera beyond range of the tripod legs when photographing flat art or similar subjects at floor level. The HVC Flexpod offers of all the features found on both the C–series carbon fiber tripods and A-series aluminum tripods, making it an excellent choice for both studio and location shooting.

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:

	Multi-Axis Centre Column: HVC FLEXPOD tripods feature a patented, multi-axis center column that can be positioned vertically or horizontally to provide optimum camera positioning to meet the needs of most any assignment.
	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.
	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. *Picture displayed is of a C-Series n6 tripod.
	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.
	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.
