Benro BV8 Twin Leg Video Tripod Kit

The Benro BV8 is a 3-section aluminum alloy tripod kit with a video head and ML08 mid-level spreader, built for videographers who need stable support on varied terrain. It handles professional cameras and accessories up to 17.6 lb with a 5-step counterbalance system. Maximum height reaches 63 in when fully extended. Twist lever locks secure each leg section quickly.

ML08 Mid-Level Spreader and Fluid Cartridge

The included ML08 mid-level spreader adds rigidity on uneven ground, reducing flex during pans and tilts. A stepped fluid cartridge provides drag control from 0 to 4 for smooth, repeatable movements. Independent pan and tilt locks sit on the operator side for fast adjustments. A floor spreader is also supplied for additional stability options.

17.6 lb Payload with 63 in Height

The system supports rigs up to 17.6 lb (7.98 kg) with counterbalance steps 0 through 4, keeping the camera steady at any tilt angle. Tilt range spans +90° to -70° for high and low angles. At 63 in (160.02 cm) fully extended, it suits standing operation; the 3-section legs limit how low the kit can go. Builders needing higher payload or taller maximum height should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the fluid cartridge or counterbalance springs need servicing after heavy use?

The stepped fluid cartridge system and 5-step counterbalance (0-4) are sealed units; no user-serviceable parts are specified, so plan on professional service if drag feels uneven.

What stops me from raising the legs higher than 63 inches?

The 3-section aluminum legs with twist lever locks reach a hard stop at 63 in (160.02 cm); the mid-level spreader ML08 then locks the stance width.

How hot or loud does the head get during an all-day shoot?

The fluid head has no motor or fan, so it runs silent and stays at ambient temperature; only the aluminum legs may feel warm after prolonged sun exposure.
