🌍 Lightweight and Portable: Benro Slim Travel Kit - Carbon Fiber (FSL09CN00) Review

Reliable product. I'm glad I spent the extra money on carbon fiber. It can be updated. Smooth operation and you will feel the difference immediately. The thing appears to be bulletproof.

I like to travel light but I don't want to sacrifice the quality of my camera gear so this is the perfect choice for me. It's not as tall as the tripods used by DSLR photographers, but with mirrorless and folding screens, who needs an eye-level tripod?

I am preparing for a trip to Egypt to take photos and I need a compact, light but strong tripod. Although I haven't fielded this before, I set it up with my Nikon Z7 and a heavy lens and it feels great. Comes with a ball head which is great for time-lapse photography.

It's a little heavier than expected BUT I'll keep it. Here's why: 1. When you're on the go, you don't want your tripod to explode. This has happened to me before with a less durable tripod.2. It's REALLY hard to find a compact tripod that extends high enough so I can shoot myself without crouching down.3. Opening and closing takes about a minute. Which is not bad! I've tried pinching other compact tripods when trying to close them. Overall highly recommended. Great tripod for 100 euros.

The feature set and versatility of this tripod is impressive. Its light weight and the ability to slip it into a large gear bag and hang it up as a backup is very convenient. It's suitable for any shot, indoors or outdoors on a calm day. The rigidity of the thin legs is good, thanks to the carbon fiber, but not good enough for windy situations. If you're shooting sports with a fast shutter speed, this tripod will suffice. When photographing architecture with a large depth of field and slow…

I am very glad I found this tripod for the DSLR through a magazine review. It has all the features I need and is very small. It easily fits in the side pocket of my 16 inch backpack! It also fits in a backpack. It's light so I don't mind carrying it with me and it doesn't take up too much of the checked baggage. I love all of its features including the included ball head. The hook also comes in handy as it holds my bag and stabilizes my tripod when it gets windy. The only other small tripod I…

My first tripod with twist locks, but far from a disadvantage for me. They work well, I trust them with my camera and I'll get used to them well. Good load hook, ball head works well and I like the color scheme. The balance ball is clearly visible and used with the mount slightly forward with the camera I am using. Even if I couldn't see the bubble at all, it wouldn't detract from the photos I'm looking for. It fits perfectly in my under seat carry-on bag which also has my other photo gear with
