Benbo Tripods (1 Viewer)

I've owned one of these tripods for many years, but it has been gathering dust for 2 or 3 years, as I've not been doing a great deal of natural history photography.

Now this is not a tripod to use to carry big lenses or scopes, but for Macro work it is superb as it allows you to get the lens up close in really tricky positions, such as lichen on a vertical wall, or low growing plants.

I dusted it down the other week, to try out the macro facilities of the Nikon CP4500, and if anything it works even better in this set-up, as the swivel LCD facility on the CP4500 lets you view the image however low to the ground the camera is (this was always a problem with an SLR)

Having gotten the “macro” bug again I don’t think its going to get put back in store in a hurry. For more info on this product see the following link.
