Product Description
The latest version of this award-winning tripod now has added features making it the most versatile tripod in the Benbo range. The swivel joint at the top of the centre column can be fully adjusted through 180? offering even more flexibility when positioning the camera. This feature makes the Trekker ideally suited when subjects need to be photographed from above or at a low angle.
The Trekker will support the majority of modern SLRs and Medium format cameras. However stability is directly related to weight and the provision of a hook at the lower end of the centre column, allows the temporary addition of extra weight (e.g. a camera bag) to give greater stability when long lenses are in use on the camera.
When long lenses are in use, greater stability can be obtained by hanging your camera bag or other weight onto the hook located on the end of the centre column. This feature avoids the necessity of carrying very heavy tripods on location.

Manufacturer's description:
A light weight version of the Classic number one tripod ideal for use where the tripod needs to be carried greater distances.
The latest version of this award winning tripod incorporates geared faces on the main joint components, ensuring that the joint can be locked firmly without undue tightening of the locking handle. The newly designed leg head castings allow the legs to be folded compactly when transporting the tripod.
Weight and stability go hand in hand. A hook at the bottom of the centre column allows a camera bag or other weight to be attached when greater stability is required.
The flexibility of the leg joint mechanism combined with the ability to swing the centre column through 180 degress, allows the camera to be positioned at almost any point relative to the tripod legs.
