longing and wanted to get a tripod for my landscape photography since a year ago, now after a tedious survey on the net and going to the shop, to check the ergonomics, the weights, the functionality, the features, the material, design and the price (least concern), why I say that, well today there is like 10 reputable brands the provide credible tripod for customers, but 9 out of 10 are all made in CHINA, so the prices a almost similar, will be small different of rm100-rm200. and for me, the size, ergo and weight is what matters to me.
Sorry about the delay in completing this review, as out babies started to cry half way, so now i continue, well, an extra feature compare to the most reputable such as Manfrotto, i review the MK394 and find that it is not so suitable for me, it is heavier, and the center locking mechanism is not locking properly, I believe by this time manfrotto should be have a lot of complaint, and hopefully, they will improve this, so back to Benro, this one is really impressive, as mentioned below
1. the quick release please is adjustable for panoramic and balance your lens if it is a long lens, and it is securely locked on.
2 .the screw type center locking mechanism is really locked on.
3. the material used in good and nice finishing.
4. there is also a free hooked included.
5. the weight is better at 1.6kg, but feels lighter that manfrotto MK394.
6. build in balancing and a compass, phew!.
7. leg can be set to 24,55,80 degrees.
8. center column lock is good and tight.
9. on sale.
cons:
1. i prefer the leg adjust mechanism of the velbon.
here, i complete my review, so hope you all can consider then looking for tripods.
