Compact travel tripod with versatile column
The Benro FGP18A Go Plus is a four-section aluminium tripod designed for photographers who need a lightweight support that packs down small. Its reverse-folding legs wrap around the centre column to minimise the folded length. The construction uses machined aluminium and magnesium alloy components for rigidity without excess bulk. It suits travel and outdoor shooting where space and weight are at a premium.
Stable platform with flexible shooting angles
Under sustained use the tripod remains steady thanks to three-position leg-angle settings that adapt to uneven ground. The centre column can be removed from its vertical position and swung through a 180 degree arc, then locked at any point along that arc. This allows low-level macro work and unusual perspectives without sacrificing stability. Twist leg locks secure each section quickly for repeated setup and breakdown.
180 degree arc column for low-level work
The single specification that decides fit is the centre column’s ability to swing through a 180 degree arc and lock at any intermediate angle. Buyers who need a conventional fixed column only will not use this capability. Photographers who require a second independent support can detach one leg to use as a monopod. The package includes a padded carry case and interchangeable rubber and spiked feet.

Questions about this item
How much noise or heat does the Benro FGP18A generate during all-day shoots?
The Benro FGP18A is a purely mechanical tripod with no motor or electronics, so it produces no noise and no heat during extended use.
What existing head or mount do I need to attach to the Benro FGP18A Go Plus?
The Benro FGP18A accepts any head with a standard 3/8 inch mounting thread, so the ball head, pan head or video head you already own will fit directly.
How does the 180° arc column on the Benro FGP18A work with older macro rails or brackets I keep?
The 180° arc column swings and locks at any angle, letting you position the camera low for macro work while your existing rails or brackets attach to the head mount as normal.
