Benro launch new Wild tripod kit range

Benro Wild
News

Designed for those with a passion for wildlife this latest range from Benro sees 4 new kits with the BWH4 2-way pan and tilt head.

The new legs are all based on the excellent Mach3 design with two sizes and two material options. What makes the Wild editions different is that they’ll be available in fern green in either carbon fibre or aluminium.

As they’re based on the Mach3 design they’ll all feature the Benro 1/4 turn leg locks with the slim profile to help prevent snagging when out in the field.

The twist lock design is also an essential when it comes to cleaning, this especially relevant as we head into British Autumn and Winter which is bound to attract plenty of rain and mud. Having legs that are easy to dismantle and reassemble for cleaning is an absolute essential.

The ideal solution for wildlife and nature photographers is the BWH4 head as it is easy to use and control enabling movement through a single axis while the other is locked.

This style of motion is ideal for both photography and scoping with the pan motion making it easy to track moving subjects.

The head features an Arca compatible quick release plate with 1/4-inch thread and VHS pin for alignment.
