The Benro Tortoise 24CLV is a high-performance, columnless tripod kit tailored for videographers who demand extreme stability and a compact footprint for travel. By omitting a traditional center column, it minimizes camera shake and reduces the folded diameter to just 8cm, making it an excellent companion for filmmakers working on location with sliders or jibs; however, users should be aware that the lack of a center column means height adjustments must be made entirely through the leg sections.

Yes, the columnless design and sturdy base are ideal for supporting sliders and jibs securely.
The kit supports a maximum weight capacity of 4kg.
Yes, a carrying case is included with the purchase.
Use the auto-leg angle adjustment buttons located at the top of each leg to switch between the four available locking positions.
While optimized for video with the S4PRO head and leveling base, it can certainly be used for photography if you prefer a sturdy base for landscapes or long exposures.
The mounting plate uses a standard 1/4-inch screw for camera attachment.
Adjust the friction control knobs on the side of the S4PRO head to achieve the desired level of resistance.
Ensure the twist locks are tightened fully in a clockwise direction. If slipping persists, check for debris inside the locking mechanism.
Loosen the ball leveling base lock, adjust the tripod head until the bubble level is centered, then tighten the lock securely.
Setting up the Tortoise 24CLV is straightforward. First, unlock the twist-lock leg sections to reach your desired height, ensuring the legs are firmly planted. Use the ball leveling base to adjust your tilt until the integrated bubble level is centered. The S4PRO head mounts via a 3/8-inch thread, making it compatible with a wide range of professional accessories.
To maintain the tripod, keep the twist locks free of sand and grit. After shooting in coastal or dusty environments, extend the legs fully and wipe them down with a damp cloth before retracting them. Periodically check the leg lock tension to ensure the legs remain secure under heavy payloads.
