Benro A2573FS6PRO Video Tripod Kit
Lightweight, Precise, and Versatile Support for Video Creators
The Benro A2573FS6PRO Video Tripod Kit is an advanced video tripod system designed for videographers who need reliable, smooth, and professional-grade camera support. Combining an aluminum single-tube tripod with the high-performance S6 PRO fluid video head, this kit caters to a wide spectrum of camera setups ranging from lightweight mirrorless cameras to medium-sized professional video rigs with accessories. It is perfect for those who demand flexibility, portability, and precision in their filming equipment.
Design and Build
The key selling point of the A2573FS6PRO is its rugged yet lightweight aluminum single-tube construction. The tripod employs three reversible leg sections with flip-lock mechanisms that make setup and breakdown fast and trouble-free. Each of the tripod legs can be independently positioned at three distinct angles, allowing users to stabilize the tripod on uneven surfaces or achieve unconventional shooting angles intuitively.
This tripod architecture is engineered for durability and offers smooth, stable support. The legs terminate in rubber feet for indoor floor protection and added grip, while also including metal spikes for outdoor environments requiring enhanced traction on soft ground or challenging terrain.
Height and Stability
This tripod’s center column includes a leveling adapter to adjust the head independently of the tripod legs, simplifying setup and maintaining precision without tedious leg repositioning. It has a maximum extended height of 180 cm (70.86 inches) and a minimum height of 44.5 cm (17.5 inches), giving filmmakers creative flexibility to shoot at eye-level or low angles such as tabletop video or time lapse shots.
A built-in weight hook under the center column allows operators to add extra ballast—such as sandbags or camera bags—to increase stability in outdoor or windy conditions, effectively reducing vibrations and shaking.
S6 PRO Fluid Video Head – Smooth Movements and Control
The S6 PRO fluid video head included with this kit is made from magnesium and aluminum for a light yet durable build and features a 65mm flat base with 3/8”-16 mounting thread. This head is designed for smooth pan and tilt control essential for cinematic video.
Five-step counterbalance settings ensure that the camera’s tilt is perfectly balanced for different payloads, preventing sudden movements or camera drooping. Continuous drag control on both pan and tilt axes allows for fine-tuning friction, aiding users in achieving perfectly smooth motion or firm camera hold depending on the shoot’s needs.
The pan movement offers a full 360-degree sweep with an independent pan lock, and tilt covers +90° forward tilt and -75° backward tilt, ideal for dynamic shot composition. The head is compatible with sliders, jibs, and monopods, making it highly versatile for complex setups.
Quick Release and Accessory Options
High-quality CNC machined aluminum sliding quick-release camera plates ensure rapid camera mounting and dismounting while safety locks prevent accidental releases. Included 1/4” and 3/8” screws provide compatibility with a range of camera rigs.
Additionally, the head offers two 1/4” threaded accessory mounts, allowing direct attachment of audio recorders, monitors, lights, or other rigging without the need for clunky external cages or rods.
An illuminated bubble level helps operators achieve precise leveling quickly, enhancing shot quality and reducing retakes.
Portable and User-Friendly
Despite its sturdy design, the entire tripod kit weighs just 3.57 kg (7.87 lbs), making it highly portable for on-location filming. The kit folds to a compact 82 cm (32.28 inches) for transport and storage.
All controls on the head feature ergonomic metal ratcheted knobs to speed up adjustments with tactile feedback and equally robust locks to secure the head in place during demanding shoots.
