Benro A-157 Classic Aluminum Tripod 3-Section
Made from classic high quality aluminum alloy and precisely manufactured. Benro A-series tripods offer timeless strength, durability and flexibility within an elegant but very functional design. Each leg section is extruded Aluminum with a thickness of 1.5 mm. Leg locking is secured using Benro’s patented tap lock bushing system.
Leg Pipes
All of Benro aluminum leg pipes are made of lightweight high rigidity aluminum alloy imported from abroad. With an exclusive 1.5 mm wall thickness and the elaborately selected material, the tripods in this series provide a steady support for your equipment.
Adjustment Leg Angles
Benro tripods provide adjustable leg angle stops. Each leg can be set to the desired angle (24, 55 or 80 degrees) for convenience and flexibility. Low angle shooting is also possible by pulling out the sliding stops and setting each leg to the lowest angle stop.
Column knob with wing nut
The wing nut column-locking knob ensures smooth and quick operation when adjusting the height of the center column.
Reversible Center Column
The center column can be quickly inverted, offering more flexibility to meet your needs for different shooting angles. The grooved-design of the column eliminates unwanted column rotation.
Patented dust resistance rubber grips
Benro's innovatively designed rubber locking grips offer a unique function not found on any other brand. The rubber grips are firmly attached to each threaded locking collar. Once the locking collar is in its fully locked position, the rubber grip completely covers and seals the gap between the threads and the outside elements. The rubber seal prevents dust, sand, dirt and water from entering into the threaded area and causing costly damage. Disassembling and reassembling each tripod leg is avoided because the leg threads are protected from the outdoors.
Patented Water Resistance
Benro avoids using paper bushings that eventually absorb moisture. Instead, they employ tap lock plastic leg lock bushings. They provide a water resistance lock system for each leg section.
Head mounting setscrews
Three setscrews, are threaded in the mounting plate, and provide an additional secure mounting of a tripod head. Once they are secured into place, the setscrews prevent the tripod head from rotating during normal panning or general use.
Spirit Level and Compass
In or out doors the spirit level helps to ensure that the tripod is level. In addition, a built-in compass provides useful coordinates for recording the exact direction and location that the image was taken in.
Stainless Steel Spike or Rubber Feet
To fit different ground surfaces, the rubber feet can be removed to fix metal spikes. Rubber feet give excellent protection to the smooth floor, while spikes ensure better stabilization in soil.
Hook
An increase of stability can be realized by hanging extra weight on the hook.
Closed Foam Grip
The closed foam grip is made from NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) giving a comfortable and firm grip. On cold days, the cold resistant NBR acts as an insulator between the cold tripod leg and your hand.
Tripod Bags
Benro bags are made of top quality materials, providing great protection for your tripod.
