Hello kendidshoots ! thank you for making this review video, it is very helpful for me i have a question, can the legs be easily removed for cleaning? i can't find any source of instructions for similar types of locking legs it seems that it can't be removed like a twist lock (eg benrro IF19), if it can't be removed for cleaning it will be terrible when shooting at the beach, sand will get into the joints
2:46 The biggest problem is that the ball head structure is not for panorama shots. When I rotate the base, the ball head is loose and make the gauge look like just decoration. Definitely not for serious panorama shots or pan moving. Otherwise, it is a decent portable tripod.
Hi! Great review! I just got the same tripod. I was planing on remove the Ball Head but It appears to be fixed. Can I ask what you saw inside tu tube when it broke? Is there screw coming from above (plate side)? Or is it welded at the joint? Best.
Hey Naka! Welded in for sure. I broke my tripod’s last column thinking there ball head was removable. It certainly wasn’t! Don’t try changing out ball head and ruining yours. 🥲

No, unfortunate there is no removing of the legs, other than the center column. The legs are bolted dead! Hope it helps, Thanks for stopping by

Hello, what quick release plate is compatible with this iSmart benro tripod? Thanks
Hi bro, it's a great review for my need. Do you have any recommendations for the portable tripod?
Hey there !! The Benro is definaltely small in footprint. I heard the PGYTECH MANTISPOD 2.0 is a solid portable tripod? Maybe you can check that out.
How about you Tripod QZSD W160D worth it better than Benro?
Mmmm jusr by looking at the features, without comparing the price, both very similar. So it’s up to you heh

@@kendidshoots OK, thanks my friend!
Can the height of the tripod legs be adjusted? Or it just goes from the minimum then to the maximum? Great review!
Hey Dan, thanks !!
Yes each tripod legs have a column to extend and retract. You can adjust how tall you want it to be and lock it~!
