Kenro, the official UK and Ireland distributor for the Benro range of tripods and bags, has introduced the Combination series of tripods. The new Combination range is so named due to the choice of two platforms for the tripods – either the simple flat platform or the geared centre column.

The C3770T weighs in at 1.75kg and can support a load of up to 18kg.

The AGC3 geared centre column is available now with an SRP of £266.40 as well as the AGC4 model which has an SRP of £294.00.
