User-friendly, lightweight, and incredibly practical. Each element of the 3-Way Pan/Tilt Tripod Head with RC4 Quick Release Plate is designed to give you complete control, wherever your shoot takes you. This smart tripod head is crafted from strong, durable and lightweight aluminium, so you can easily slot it into your bag when you’re on the go. And it means that it’s totally hassle-free to set up and take apart at the end of the day. Despite being light enough to easily transport, it can support up to an impressive 8kgs, and manage tricky, off-centre loads.

Part of this tripod head’s innovative design includes two balancing springs. These springs help balance heavy, awkward loads, but they also give you total control, regardless of what you need to do on the day. The springs are set in the vertical and horizontal tilt, so this gives you framing control on all 3 axes. So whether you’re using standard gear, or more challenging equipment like long lenses, you’ll be set up to manage it without any hassle. And when it comes to using normal heads, you can simply turn the springs off and crack on as usual.

Setting up this unique and super-smart tripod head is intuitive too. Simply look at the inbuilt dual axis bubble levels to get the exact angle and framing position every time, with just a glance. This is especially useful when you’re using this multi-purpose, hardworking tripod head on bigger camera platforms. And you have an essential quick release function built in. So you’ll always be safe in the knowledge that your gear is firmly in place, and easy to dismantle when you’re done.

The popular HD series of 3-Way tripod heads provide more precise camera movement than ball heads, and now the Benro HD series has been refined, remodelled and offers greater versatility than before. The HD2A has a maximum payload of 8kg.​
