Benro TMA37C Mach3 9X CF Series 3 Tripod, 3 Section, Twist Lock (Black)

Perfect tripod. shot ad campaigns for 10 years always had a trusty Manfrotto but this exceeds expectations!

Owned loads of average tripods before but wish I'd just bought this many years ago. Deploys quickly, super strong and stable, great value.

This is an excellent tripod with the benefit of four section legs which enable use on very uneven ground with large differences in the levels. Fully extended the height of the head is over 6’. I am using it with my Swarovski BTX 30 x 85 field scope which is mounted on the Swarovski gimbal head and balance rail, a fairly heavy combination. It comes with its own carry case and tools.

This product far exceeded my expectations regarding it's quality. Well made and extremely sturdy. Due to it's height the distal legs, on flat surfaces needn't be used, increasing stability. well packaged and engineered.

It would be a perfect tripod if the center column wouldn’t be wobbly like that. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be like that, but I decided to return it.

Excellent carbon tripod. It exceeded my expectations. Very sturdy, tall, premium quality, easy to use. Comes well packed, with soft bag, padded, great to transport. To me one of the best carbon fiber tripods. Surely recommend it.

A good quality tripod which is not to expensive.

Does everything a tripod should. Not the lightest but extremely stable.

Muy buena calidad, solido y estable. Le faltan adaptadores hembra de 1/4, hoy en dia es muy util

Tolle Qualität in Kombination mit der Höhe ist es unschlagbar dazu kommt noch der sehr günstige Preis andere Hersteller kosten in der Höhe mehr als das Doppelte. Hab es jetzt schon einige Zeit und hab es auch immer dabei da es echt ein tragbares gewicht hat was mir sehr wichtig ist wobei ich die Höhe nicht vermissen möchte. Hab es auf meinen F-Stop Tilopa seitlich in den Fstop Tripod Bag größe M eingepackt das richtig gut passt und nicht hin und herschauckelt. Steht auch super stabil viel stabiler als mein altes Manfrotto was micht echt überrascht hat. Kann es nur weiterempfehlen

This product is not cheap but you can tell where your money goes, worth every cent, wish I had bought before wasting money on cheaper tripods that don't last or are too flimsy. You get what you pay for - brilliant engineering.

Very happy. This tripod is outstanding in every way and is very well made. Most people buy a 4 section Mach3, which I don’t understand. I went with the S3, 3 section version because it’s both lighter and more stable than the 4 section version, and faster to set up and take down. Using a centre column is usually frowned upon, for good reason, but I would have no problem using it on a Mach 3, Series 3 or 4. It’s indestructable, and several prominent landscape photographers use the Mach3 centre column freely. I would if I needed to. One thing people should be aware of is that as I write this, the product description says: “It is extremely simple to convert one of the Mach3 tripod legs into a monopod”. It actually isn’t simple at all. You would need to saw a leg off. Neither Series 3, nor Series 4 have the monopod feature, and I was surprised to see it in the description.

Avevo necessità di un treppiede che superasse i due metri, per alcuni lavori in cui devo superare le auto parcheggiate. Ho scelto questo, perché ho visto delle ottime recensioni video e il prezzo è assolutamente interessante (372€ al momento dell'acquisto). Nonostante le dimensioni, il carbonio fa sì che il peso sia piuttosto contenuto, ma parliamo di comunque oltre 2,6Kg (che da trasportare si sentono, specie se si monta una testa micrometrica) e l'impressione di solidità si apprezza quando si fanno modifiche alle impostazioni della fotocamera. Personalmente lo uso per fotografie d'architettura (con lenti decentrabili) e per still life, e posso decisamente ritenermi soddisfatto quando maneggio la fotocamera, perchè non ci son le vibrazioni tipiche dei treppiedi più leggeri, anche con colonna centrale estesa. Unica pecca è la sacca da trasporto, che non riesce a contenere una testa micrometrica come la Manfrotto 410 Junior (e a questo punto suppongo anche l'omologa GD3WH, che ha dimensioni simili). Sarebbero bastati pochi cm in più, ma evidentemente è stata pensata per ospitare solo le teste a sfera. La cosa non mi crea grossi problemi, perchè sto cercando soluzioni alternative, ma mi sarebbe piaciuto poter usare la sacca originale, che protegge molto bene. Inclusi ci son dei piedini a punta (per conficcarli nel terreno) e qualche chiave a brugola. Ci son soluzioni decisamente più costose e qualitativamente superiori (vedi Gitzo o Leofoto), ma i prezzi son triplicati e per l'utilizzo che faccio, questo immagino durerà parecchio. Un must per chi necessità di un treppiede solido a prezzi piuttosto contenuti.
