Benro System Goplus Aluminium Tripod FGP28A

Benro System Goplus Aluminium Tripod FGP28A | A flexible centre column for unusual angles

Benro’s defining design choice is the adjustable centre column: it can move out of its usual central position, so you can place the camera above, beside or below the tripod when the composition calls for it. The Benro System Goplus Aluminium Tripod FGP28A is an aluminium tripod with a maximum load of 14kg. That combination suits a substantial camera setup while keeping the column’s unusual positioning options available. For landscapes and long exposures, the tripod provides a steady platform; it’s also suitable for night and astro photography, where a stable camera position matters. The column’s sideways reach is especially useful for macro and product work: you can position the camera over an object on a table or close to the ground without keeping it directly above the tripod’s centre. The GoPlus system also has uses beyond camera support, including supporting a laptop. It’s a versatile design for photographers who need more than a conventional upright tripod, but still want a sturdy aluminium support for considered compositions and steady video. The three leg-angle settings add further flexibility when the ground or shooting position calls for a different stance.

Built to stand still

• Articulating centre column: Position it vertically with the camera above or below, or horizontally to either side. That reach opens up viewpoints that a fixed, upright column can’t provide.
• Three leg angles: Set the legs at one of three angles to adapt the tripod’s stance. Paired with the adjustable column, this supports low or otherwise unusual camera positions.
• Twist-lock leg sections: Twist locks secure the legs at the chosen height. The simple locking design keeps setup straightforward when you’re adjusting the tripod between viewpoints.
• Rubber feet: The supplied rubber feet provide contact with smooth surfaces. They’re useful when you want the tripod planted without exposed spikes touching the floor.
• Stainless-steel spikes: Spikes are included for surfaces where their pointed contact is preferable. They offer another footing option alongside the rubber feet.
• Converts to a monopod: The tripod can be converted into a monopod, giving you a different support format when a full tripod stance isn’t the right fit.
• Aluminium construction: The FGP28A uses aluminium throughout its tripod construction. It combines that material with the adjustable column and multi-angle legs in one support system.

Height and load

The working height ranges from 39cm to 165.5cm, so the tripod can support low viewpoints as well as a camera position well above the ground. Its maximum load is 14kg. That capacity is useful when you’re choosing a camera and lens combination for the support, while the height range gives you scope to frame from different levels without changing to a separate support.
