Hello All,
I'm looking for a lightweight, sturdy and flexible tripod that has the
ability to slide the centre column very accurately (for macro shots
where I want to raise it 1mm from where it's currently positioned).
The maximum height I need out of it is 43 inches (109cm), and the
shorter it folds up the better, though I still need it to be sturdy.
I've come across the Benbo Trekker Mk3 Compact Tripod which seems to
fit the bill (apart from being a bit complex to set up, but I think I
can live with that). Of course living in Australia it's hard to
actually view this strange and exotic equipment, so I can't try one
out for real (I can also save about $80 buy importing from B&H rather
than ordering and buying locally - I'm willing to support my local to
a certain degree, but not that much).
Is there anyone out there with experience with the Benbo tripod or who
has any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Leon

Benbos... still have my larger trekker
The great thing is the way you can get it into all sorts of odd
positions ... just remember to always hold the main
post while you adjust the legs -)
It actually sets up quickly... except maybe not the very first time.
I'd go for it
