I've got the PGP28A (the aluminium version).

[@MrARRMP]

Thank you for this useful review, very comprehensive and the birds in the background make it an even better experience to people using headphones :)

[@PJ-kg2pw]

There should be more reviews like this! Thank you very much!

[@MusikPiratCH]

I guess what you call an adapter might also serve as a short center column. Try to screw the center column on the removable leg, you'll might get an even higher monopod.

Great tripod, I have the same model

[@sunrise_sunshine]

Hi Marcell, I am thinking to buy FGP28A (Aluminium) since both are the same design and functionality except material used. My concern is, is it sturdy enough to hold Nikon Z6ii + 24-70MM lense in horizontal setup?. For the horizontal setup, I observe that the weight of the camera will not be in the centre of the tripod. Hope it should not damage the tripod mount / convertible locking system. Any kind of information if you share is really helpful to decide.

Thanks for such a great review Marcell. Do you think this tripod would be suitable for use in a busy city or would you suggest the slightly caller 18C version? I’d prefer to have the greater height and stability of the 28C if possible but am slightly concerned it might be a little cumbersome. Thanks again.

That was a very detail review of the tripod and its uses, thanks for that. The small adapter which is given for the monopod, can it be used instead of the center column in the tripod ?

[@jacephotos]

I know this video is 3 years past but I too am a Benro user. have you looked at the new Benro Theta and Theta max "smart" Tripods yet? If so, what are your thoughts. Thanks in advance!

[@b.d0091]

Does this monopod adopter can be attached to the main tripod after removing the centre column .. for low angle eye level shot... ? ( Like TMA27C has)

[@konsamprincesingh7763]

Nice and informative review. But i am confused with so many models with mouthful long names. Is this model same as Benro Travel Angel 2 Series Carbon Fiber Tripod (FTA28CC).

[@panchulovikingo9763]

How big is the tripod with the head without the column raised and the monopod with the head?

[@mordavian]

Can i attach S6pro video head to this tripod?

[@GS-yg9wk]

Hello. I would like to ask users about how the tripods with the central column rotated 360 degrees work in practice. Examples of such tripods are Benro FGP 18A, FGP 28A. I am afraid that the central column rotation mechanism can quickly develop and looser will appear. I would like to know how it looks in practice to set the camera on such an extended column - are there any problems with instability, micro-shocks that can interfere with getting good focus during macro shooting?
