The 1.8 kg TAD28AHD2A Adventure Aluminum Tripod with HD2A Pan and Tilt Head from Benro is an all-purpose four-section tripod with flip leg locks that open to extend the legs to a maximum height of 135.4 cm (156 cm with the centre column extended). Alternatively, splay the legs to allow the tripod to lower to its minimum working height of 31 cm. A foam grip on one of the legs enables you to securely hold the tripod and protects your hand during cold weather.

A 3/8″-16 thread on top of the tripod allows you to attach any compatible tripod head of your choice, though it is kitted here with the HD2A pan and tilt head, which includes a quick release plate, is Arca-type compatible and has a load capacity of 8 kg. The head has a back-and-forth tilting range of -35 to +90° and a side-to-side tilting range of -90 to +15°. At the same time, it can rotate a full 360°. For each axis, there is a single bubble available to maintain its level, and reference scales so you can repeat set ups.

A carrying case with a shoulder strap is also included to protect the tripod during transport.
