Product Information
Full details
The Benro TCBH15N00P Cyan Bird Tripod Kit is designed for photographers and videographers seeking a lightweight, durable, and versatile support solution for travel. Its key benefit is the combination of robust construction with a compact folded size and rapid setup, allowing for quick deployment in various environments. A potential caveat is the 4kg weight capacity, which may limit heavier professional camera setups. This kit features a carbon and aluminum build, a N00P ball head with an Arca-type plate, 5-section legs with flip locks, a splittable center column for low-angle shots, and three accessory mounts.

Troubleshooting
Leg locks feel stiff or difficult to open/close.
Ensure no dirt or debris is obstructing the flip locks. Wipe them clean. If the issue persists, a tiny drop of silicone lubricant on the pivot point might help, but use sparingly.
Camera is not secure on the ball head.
Make sure the quick-release plate is securely attached to the camera and properly seated in the head's clamp. Ensure the clamp's locking knob is fully tightened.
Ball head is not holding the camera steady.
Check that the main lock knob on the ball head is fully tightened. If the head is older, the internal mechanism might require professional servicing.
Tripod feels wobbly at maximum extension.
Ensure all leg sections are fully extended and locked securely. Avoid using the tripod at its absolute maximum height in windy conditions. Utilize the hook on the center column to add weight (e.g., hang your camera bag) for increased stability.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly portable due to its lightweight (1.05kg) and compact folded design (46cm).
- Quick and easy setup and adjustment thanks to robust aluminum flip locks.
- Versatile shooting options with a splittable center column for low-angle shots.
- Stable and precise ball head movement with the included N00P head.
- Durable construction with a blend of carbon fiber and aluminum.
- Convenient accessory mounting points for additional gear.
Cons
- Maximum weight capacity of 4kg may not be sufficient for very heavy professional camera bodies with large telephoto lenses.
- 5-section legs, while compact, can sometimes be less stable than fewer, thicker sections in windy conditions.
- The blue accents, while distinctive, may not appeal to all aesthetic preferences.
- Requires a separate adapter if using camera mounts that are not Arca-type compatible.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the tripod and head. Ensure all parts are present.
- Extend the legs by flipping the leg locks open and pulling the sections to the desired length. Secure by closing the flip locks.
- Attach your camera to the N00P ball head using the Arca-type quick-release plate. Screw the plate firmly onto your camera's base. Then, slide the plate into the head's clamp and tighten the lock knob.
- Adjust the ball head using its main lock knob for smooth pan and tilt movements. Use the independent pan lock for precise panoramic shots.
- For low-angle shots, unscrew the upper part of the center column and reattach it to the base, or invert the entire column if needed.
Compatibility:
- The tripod features a 3/8" mounting thread at the base of the center column, compatible with most standard tripod heads. The included N00P head uses a 1/4"-20 screw for camera attachment.
- The Arca-type quick-release plate is compatible with other Arca-type quick-release systems, offering broad compatibility across camera brands and accessories.
- Suitable for smartphones (with a phone mount), digital cameras, DSLRs, and mirrorless cameras with a maximum weight of 4kg.
Care:
- After use in dusty or wet conditions, wipe down the legs and head with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Periodically check the leg locks for debris and ensure they function smoothly. Clean if necessary.
- Store the tripod in its included padded carry case to protect it from scratches and the elements.
