Benro MACH3 Tripod TMA28A

Benro MACH3 Tripod TMA28A | A steady base for long exposures

Long exposures of a coastline, sharp night-sky frames and steady video all start with a camera that stays put. The Benro MACH3 Tripod TMA28A is a four-section aluminium tripod with the sturdy, traditional construction of Benro’s MACH3 range. Its 14kg maximum load gives it ample capacity for a camera setup, while its leg design makes it useful both outdoors and in the studio. For landscape photography, a stable platform keeps your framing consistent as you work through a scene. On a night or astro shoot, the tripod provides the still support needed for long exposures. It also gives video makers a firm base when a steady viewpoint matters. The supplied short centre column adds another option for close-to-ground compositions, rather than limiting you to a conventional standing viewpoint. There’s thoughtful versatility here, too: one leg converts into a monopod, and the tripod comes with both rubber feet and metal spikes for different surfaces. A bubble level helps you check that the camera is level, while a hook beneath the centre column provides a place to hang extra weight when conditions call for more stability. This is a substantial, adaptable support system rather than a bare-bones set of legs.

Stability and setup

• Short centre column: Swap to the included short column for ground-level framing, useful for low landscape details and close-to-ground compositions.
• Twist leg locks: The rubber twist locks are made for a secure, comfortable grip and are suited to use in changing outdoor conditions.
• Monopod conversion: One tripod leg can be converted into a monopod. That gives you a more mobile support option when carrying a full tripod is inconvenient.
• Bubble level: Check the level of your camera setup at a glance, which is especially helpful when keeping a horizon straight in landscape frames.
• Interchangeable feet: Fit the rubber feet for hard surfaces or use the supplied metal spikes for a more secure footing on suitable ground.
• Centre-column hook: Hang a counterweight below the column when extra steadiness is useful, particularly with the column extended.
• 3/8-inch tripod-head connection: The standard 3/8-inch fitting lets you attach a compatible tripod head of your choice.

Height and load

The working height ranges from 32cm to 156cm, giving you a low position as well as a full standing-height setup. Folded, the tripod measures 53cm. Its maximum load is 14kg, and the tripod itself weighs 1.76kg. These figures make it a capable option for a substantial camera setup, while the folded length is worth factoring into your packing plans.
