Benro Tortoise Carbon Tripod 24C w/ Leveling Base (TTOR24CLV)

Benro Tortoise Carbon Tripod 24C w/ Leveling Base (TTOR24CLV) - a level head platform without a centre column

Getting a tripod head level on uneven ground can take time, especially when each adjustment means changing a leg. The Benro Tortoise Carbon Tripod 24C w/ Leveling Base (TTOR24CLV) has a leveling base at the top, so you can level the platform for your head independently of the legs. Its column-free carbon-fibre design keeps the folded profile slim, making it a considered option for photographers who carry their support between locations. For wildlife, fit a gimbal head and use the level platform as a steady starting point for tracking movement. For landscape work, a geared or other custom head can sit on the same levelled base, giving you a consistent reference as you frame a horizon. The four-section legs also allow the tripod to be set low for compositions close to the ground. This is a useful distinction from a tripod that relies on a centre column for extra height: the leveling adjustment happens at the head platform, while the column-free layout keeps the structure straightforward. The 3/8-inch head mount provides the connection point for your chosen head. The Tortoise 24C is a carbon-fibre tripod supplied with its leveling base, rather than a tripod head or camera support kit with extra electronic controls.

Height, load and handling

• Top-mounted leveling base: Level the platform where the head sits without correcting the angle by repositioning the legs. That saves repeated leg adjustments when the ground isn’t even.
• Carbon-fibre construction: The legs use carbon fibre, a lightweight material for a tripod that needs to be carried between shooting positions. The structure is intended to provide firm support as well as portability.
• No centre column: Benro leaves out the column, keeping the folded leg shape slimmer. The leveling mechanism sits at the top of the tripod rather than on an extending column.
• Four round-tube leg sections: Each leg is divided into four sections, giving you several stages to set the tripod at different working heights or a lower shooting position.
• 3/8-inch head mount: The platform has a 3/8-inch mounting thread for attaching a compatible tripod head. Choose the head to suit the way you work, such as a gimbal for tracking wildlife.
• Steel spikes included: The supplied spikes offer an alternative to the standard feet when setting up on surfaces where a pointed foot is useful. They’re included in the box with the tripod’s tools and carry bag.

Height and load

The tripod reaches a maximum height of 158.5 cm and can be set as low as 22.5 cm, giving you options from low viewpoints to standing-height compositions. It folds to 64.5 cm for carrying. Benro rates the maximum load at 14 kg, while the tripod weighs 1.36 kg. Those figures make the load rating notably substantial relative to the weight you’ll carry, though your complete setup should stay within the stated limit.
