North White Plains, NY – September 3, 2014 – Benro today announced the availability of the Aero 2 & Aero 4, two travel friendly video tripod kits that are compact due to their unique leg design.

These super compact video tripods utilize reverse folding legs, making them small enough to fit inside of a backpack, rolling case or carry on. Each kit includes a removable flat base fluid effect video head with both pan (left to right) and tilt (up & down) controls for smooth and precise camera movements. They are equipped with a sliding quick release plate and safety stop, which enables perfect camera balance and speedy set up and removal of your camera.

With Aero that’s no longer an issue. You can go anywhere with these tripods.”
