Benro has announced a new addition to its tripod range with the release of
the Travel Angel 2.

This new model brings together the best features from Benro's original Travel
Angel and its Transfunctional Travel Angel series to create a tripod that, says
Paul Kench, Managing Director of Kenro who distribute Benro products in the UK
and Ireland, ticks every box on the photographer's wish list. He added: "The
original Travel Angel has received consistent praise from photographers and
enthusiasts around the world but Travel Angel 2 takes the design to a new
level."
Manufactured from high quality aluminium or carbon fibre with magnesium alloy
castings, Benro's Travel Angel 2 tripods are supplied matched with one of the
company's B series Ball Heads. They are rust and weather resistant and have
innovative rubberised leg locking grips and an anti-rotating twist-lock leg
design, both of which make for a quick set up.
Additional flexibility is achieved by the tripod legs which can be independently
locked in two positions, helping photographers work in difficult or cramped
conditions. These independently locked legs also help on uneven ground where,
depending on the surface or ground conditions, either spiked or rubber feet can
be chosen while a hook on the bottom of the centre column enables the user to
hang additional weights to increase stability.
For portability and compactness, tripod legs can be inverted and folded back
through 180 degrees. Each tripod features a detachable leg, that when used in
conjunction with the removable centre column, easily converts the tripod into a
full sized monopod without the need for additional tools.
Tripods are also supplied with an attachment to convert the monopod into a fully
functioning walking stick with built in compass. A high quality durable case is
included with strap for ease of transportation and added protection.
The Travel Angel 2 series is available in a choice of six sizes, in both high
quality aluminium as well as eight layer carbon fibre.

Photo Quote: Searching is everything - going beyond what you know. And the test of the earch is really in the things themselves, the things you seek to understand. What is important is not what you think about them, but how they enlarge you. - Wynn Bullock
