Benro Slim Tripod Kit W/S2CSH Head Aluminum

Lightweight, Compact, and Smooth Video Support

The Benro Slim Tripod Kit with S2CSH Head is a premium solution for photographers and videographers who require a compact, lightweight tripod with smooth, controlled video head movements. Crafted from durable aluminum, this kit combines portability with professional-grade functionality and precise camera handling, making it ideal for mirrorless cameras, compact DSLRs, camcorders, and smartphones (with optional mounts).

Design and Build Quality

The Benro Slim Tripod Kit features a sleek, slim aluminum design that emphasizes portability without compromising stability. When folded, the tripod measures just 20.5 inches (52 cm) in length and boasts a very slender profile thanks to its four-section leg design. This compact folded size makes it perfect for travel, on-location shooting, or situations where carrying heavy gear is impractical.

The tripod’s legs utilize anodized aluminum twist locks that require just a half-turn to securely lock or unlock. These fast and easy locks speed up setup and teardown times, enhancing efficiency during shoots. Each leg can be independently positioned to achieve optimal balance on uneven terrains, with fixed rubber feet providing excellent grip and stability on smooth or slippery floors.

Height and Load Capacity

The tripod extends to a maximum height of 57 inches (145 cm) when the center column is raised and can reach 47.8 inches (121.5 cm) without the center column. Its minimum height is 16 inches (40 cm), allowing for low-angle or close-to-ground shots.

The center column is engineered to resist twisting during use and can be reversed for ground-level photography. A weight hook is located at its base, allowing users to add ballast like a sandbag for increased stability in windy conditions.

The tripod supports a payload of up to 5.5 lbs (2.5 kg), making it ideal for compact cameras, mirrorless systems, and lightweight camcorders.

Smooth Pan and Tilt S2CSH Video Head

The included S2CSH video head is designed to deliver smooth, precise pan and tilt movements essential for cinematic video capture. Featuring adjustable tension controls and fluid damping, it allows seamless camera movement and fine positioning.

The head includes an Arca-Swiss style quick-release camera plate with a D-ring 1/4"-20 mounting screw, facilitating quick attachment and detachment of compatible cameras. An adjustable pan bar provides enhanced control over sweeping shots.

Bubble levels on both the tripod and video head ensure perfectly balanced setups, critical for professional video work.
