Intuitive GX25 Ball Head

As this low-profile dual panoramic ball head is so intuitive and easy to use, it means that you can spend more time focusing upon capturing that perfect panoramic shot. Both 360° rotation rings are incredibly smooth and responsive, ideal for even the slightest change in movement. Also, the fine calibration marks make it easy to replicate certain movements in quick-succession with reliable accuracy and speed.

The 360° rotation ring located below the QR plate gives you the ability to accurately position your camera to capture stunning panoramic imagery. Whilst the 360° rotation ring at the base of the head aids you in producing smooth camera movements and dynamic still-images. As a low-profile, lightweight aluminium ball head, the GX25 pairs really well with this compact tripod system for shooting in urban areas where speed and efficiency are vital.

Lightweight Spider Design

The Benro Tortoise 14C tripod can be recognised by its streamlined, milled-aluminium leg spider design. The leg angles can be changed at the push of the button - simply re-engage the pre-locking button when the desired angle is reached. Considering the Tortoise 14C stands at a maximum 130cm, it is incredibly lightweight and has an abundance of 1/4"-20 threaded accessory sockets (three accessible) for lights, monitors, microphones, accessory arms, and more.

Winning Combination

How does a tripod benefit still-image capture?

A key benefit of using a tripod is that it allows you to capture a longer exposure by utilising a slower shutter speed. The risk of movement and camera shake is significantly minimised, whilst allowing more light into the camera than when using it hand-held.

What are the key benefits of a ball head?

A ball head increases stability and ensures much faster, more efficient camera movements than the traditional three-way pan-tilt tripod heads. You are able to achieve more accurate rotations and make more precise changes to the camera position.
