Benro Mammoth 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod

Had a cheaper Benro model before and wasn't too impressed. This one has changed my mind about Benro! It's solid in every way.

I bought this to have a heavier option than my tournament light weight tripod. It fit the bill nicely without being too high priced. I find the features well thought out with the exception of not having a photo mount furnished along with or instead of the video mount. I like very much the double click (for lack of better word) twist locks when being unlocked. The fact that it can be lowered practically on the ground is a nice feature as well. The legs are very sturdy and the weight hook is spring loaded so it doesn't hang in the way. I find the tripod a very solid option for someone not wanting to spend a small fortune. I am pleased with the purchase.

You know a quality item as soon as you open it. This is definitely one of those items. Legs are solid and feel firm. The twist locks are large enough and easy to use. Only drawback might be that there is no bubble level on the leveling base and the spike feet seems little short, so I'll be getting some longer spikes. The carry case is really nice, but who uses those? ???? Great tripod. For just under €300 you can't go wrong with it.

This is my first carbon fiber tripod and I love it. Bought it for my upcoming November trip to the Bald Eagle Preserve in Alaska. This tripod is well built, I highly recommend it. I purchased the Benro Gh2 Gimbal at the same time. This tripod will also fit in my carry on bag (on an angle) for when I fly. The included tripod bag is a very nice bag though and it is padded and holds the tripod very secure.

I have the 4 section, TMTH34C model which has a weight limit of 39.7 lbs and 75mm bowl. Everything about this tripod exudes quality and it is very stable. Without the included ball (which is all metal) and handle, it weighs only 3lbs 10oz. I have other Benro aluminum tripods that have been great, but Benro has taken a step up with the Mammoth line. The bowl, the leg locks/hardware and carbon fiber legs all have a premium look and feel. Even the included bag is upscale, they have changed to black for the bag from their traditional blue, all bag fittings are metal, it has enough space to carry both the tripod and my BV6 fluid head fully assembled. The only thing I am left wanting is a bubble level for rough leveling before adjusting the head (the BV6 has a lit bubble level).

I have been using getzo for the last 15 years. I paid over twice as much for my getzo 15 years ago . My getzo is not have as good as this tripod. I am so glad I switched. Lane

This tripod is a beast. It checks off all of my wants and meets all of my needs. I can 9t get over the quality and features for the price. I have been using my friends Pro Media Gear 57 d tripod, which I absolutely love, but when I saw this come out and with a few more inches of height and the fact that it is a bowl and even comes with a leveling center plate, I had to give it a try. Also to add, it 9s one third the price. Now I get that the PMG is made in the USA and that it is truly premium grade, but after using the mammoth for just a short while, I have found myself liking it better. I 9m not writing this to bash on others or steer anyone away from the PMG, I 9m just saying, this thing competes with the big boys and in some regards I think it even exceeds. At this price, it could get you in the game much sooner instead of saving up for the high end gems. Who knows, you may get it with the expectation to upgrade later and end up falling in love with it. Because of the price, I was able to pair it with a RRS 55 ball head at the same time. Definitely not looking back.
