Benro Tortoise 34CLV + S4PRO Video Tripod Kit

This tripod kit combines the carbon fibre, columnless 34CLV with the robust and lightweight S4PRO - to form a versatile setup for avid videographers. The Benro 34CLV's centre is column-free, allowing for more nimble movements and significantly reduced camera shake. This can be a recurring issue for less-stable, high central column positioning tripods. The legs can spread independently and offer four secure locking positions, whilst auto-leg angle adjustments benefit a more efficient setup. The Benro S4PRO Video Head is both robust and lightweight, supporting cameras up to 4 kg. It is equipped with a 60mm flat base with a 3/8" thread, a tilt range of +90/-75°, and a full 360° pan range. As a package, this Benro tripod kit would suit a filmmaker who requires a reliable setup for diverse on-location and studio shooting. The S4PRO further enables efficient movement between compatible sliders, jibs, and various other support gear.

Camera-Ready S4PRO

The Benro S4PRO is the lightest and most compact video head in the S PRO range. It has a versatile tilt range of +90/-75° and a full 360° pan range; attach additional accessories via two 1/4"-20 threaded holes (can secure articulating arms). The rugged magnesium/aluminium construction of the S4PRO Head incorporates two rosette adapters (L and R) to attach the pan bar. For optimal camera balance, the camera plate can be adjusted either forward or back, whilst the safety lock ensures it cannot slip out of place.

This video head also benefits from being such a lightweight, compact system - ideal for taking on extended trips or for studio work where a range of jibs, tripods, monopods and sliders are at your disposal. Exchanging the S4PRO between different accessories is a breeze due to its 60mm flat base and 3/8" locking thread. Combine this with its high-speed levelling capabilities and durable design, and you are left with a reliable, secure high-performance video head.

Lightweight Spider Design

The Benro Tortoise 34CLV tripod can be recognised by its streamlined, carbon-fibre leg 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 34CLV stands at a maximum 164cm, 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. The addition of a fourth locking leg section gives further stability and control.

Winning Combination

Similar to how the Benro Tortoise 24C + GX30 Tripod Kit is a great mid to high-level setup for the travelling or freelance photographer, this combination of the Benro Tortoise 34CLV and S4PRO is perfect for avid videographers. The S4PRO provides such versatility in regard to future camera setups, where the 60mm flat base and 3/8" locking thread give you the option to combine this lightweight video head with compatible jibs, sliders, monopods and travel tripods.

The 34CLV tripod stands as a great everyday, lightweight piece of kit that provides reliable stability, efficient setup speeds, and is still compact enough to take on your travels. This kit, in particular, would suit freelance videographers who are aiming to expand their collection to include in-studio equipment. The S4PRO provides a great starting point as it is compatible with a range of jibs, sliders and other filmmaking equipment. As a pairing, the 34CLV and S4PRO work well in varied conditions (especially on the move), and stand as a solid every day, all-day tripod setup.
