DesertBull Report post Posted January 27, 2018 Anyone have any first hand experience with these. They get really good reviews from photographers but cant find anyone using them for glassing.

GreyGhost85 Report post Posted February 10, 2018 I have a friend that runs one. They seem pretty nice. Ive been using a zomei, which is real similar, for a couple years now and dont have any complaints 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreyGhost85 Report post Posted February 12, 2018 I think mine is the Z699C? It doesnt go very high but im too tall to glass standing behind 90% of tripods anyways. They just come with a ball head. I out Manfrotto 700rc2s on all my tripods anyways. It seems really sturdy. Ive soent a few hundred hours behind it now and have been really happy with it.

rcdinaz Report post Posted February 12, 2018 I have one it was my sitting or on my stool tripod for a long time, it is probably 5-6 years old. Still operates as it should with no complaints. It is not as sturdy as my manfrotto but that is a heavier tripod I use for standing. Just throwing it out there to point out I have a good comparison. My dad used the Benro this last season with the 15's and was good to go off of his stool. Crazy light, fits in my Eberlestock side pockets, and durable, pretty good deal for $100. Or you cold just buy the extension tube for an outdoorsman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
