Smooth Fluid Head Engineered for Performance

The package comes with the Benro BV8 fluid video head, designed with a 75mm ball mount for fast leveling and stability. The head comes equipped with a 5-step counterbalance system (0–4), enabling you to balance your rig for the best tilt performance and reduce camera drop on tilting.

Besides, the 4-step independent 4-step pan and tilt drag controls (0–3) allow smooth, adjustable resistance to ensure professional-level movement in pans, tilts, or intricate camera movements. The controls (all except the counterbalance) are placed on the left side of the head to permit one-handed adjustments during a shoot.

Essential Fluid Head Features:

• Payload capacity: 17.6 lb (8 kg)
• -70° to +90° tilt range to accommodate varied shooting angles
• Compatible quick release plate (Manfrotto 501/504PL style) for rapid setup
• Removable tie-down stud for flat base conversion—perfect for sliders and jibs
• Dual 3/8"-16 accessory mounting points for monitors, arms, or recorders
• Built-in bubble level for simple and precise leveling

This head is perfect for video production tripods, particularly where smooth head performance is critical for clean, cinematic shots.

Strong, Adjustable Aluminum Tripod Legs

Supporting the BV8 head is a twin-leg aluminum tripod constructed with a 2-stage, 3-section design that provides flexible height adjustment and stable performance on any surface. It goes from 28 inches to 63 inches, providing ample range for high and low-angle photography.

Leg Features:

• 75mm bowl fitting to ensure secure head mounting
• Oversized twist locks to quickly and firmly lock the legs into place
• Adjustable/removable mid-level spreader for increased rigidity on uneven surfaces
• Dual-spiked feet for outdoor grip and removable rubber pads for indoor use

This setup ensures professional tripod stability whether you’re on a soundstage, in the field, or navigating rugged terrain.
