Benro goes full video

Posted on Jan 20, 2026 by Pro Moviemaker

Benro is making serious waves in the video market with four new tripods aimed at moviemaking

For cinema cameras or heavier payloads there’s the aptly named £500/$449 Mammoth. This elite carbon-fibre beast supports up to 18kg while weighing 2.2kg itself. It features a removable 75mm levelling bowl to go with flat-base or half-ball heads. The maximum height is 196.8cm, but it can fold down to 49cm with its flip-lock legs, multiple leg angles and convertible rubber/spiked feet.

The popular Rhino line has also now evolved for filmmakers, adapting the lightweight carbon fibre originals with flip-lock legs.

Each of the three models features reverse-folding legs for travel, a built-in levelling ball and rubber/spiked feet. One standout addition is the clever monopod conversion system. Just remove one leg and the centre column to create a monopod in seconds.

Three models are available, costing £400-£450/$480-$529.
