Benro KH25PC Aluminium, Dual-Tube, 3 Section, Video Tripod, K5 Head, QR11 Plate, Twist-Lever Lock

The Benro KH25PC Aluminium, Dual-Tube, 3 Section, Video Tripod, K5 Head, QR11 Plate, Twist-Lever Lock is a robust, dual-stage aluminum camera support system tailored for videographers, indie filmmakers, and content creators utilizing mirrorless cameras, DSLRs, or compact cinema rigs. Serving as the direct successor to the widely used KH25P, the KH25PC introduces a heavily reinforced payload capability alongside an entirely overhauled quick-release platform designed to increase safety and broaden cross-brand plate compatibility in fast-paced production environments.

The foundation of the kit relies on a precision 60mm leveling ball system that allows operators to instantly level the fluid head without adjusting individual tripod leg lengths. Boasting an upgraded load capacity of 15 pounds, the fluid head features smooth, continuous pan drag and independent locking knobs for both pan and tilt axes, completely eliminating jerky movements or mechanical backlash during critical tracking shots. The dual-stage legs work in tandem with a structural, non-removable mid-level spreader to maximize torsional rigidity, keeping your composition completely rock-solid on flat studio floors or uneven outdoor terrain.

Product Features in Detail

Upgraded 15 lb Payload Capacity
Specifically engineered to stabilize modern production rigs, the head comfortably supports configurations up to 15 pounds. This allows videographers to build out their systems with heavy zoom lenses, external monitors, wireless follow-focus motors, and matte boxes without inducing fluid drift.

Cross-Brand Quick Release Compatibility
The updated receiver platform features a broader range of compatibility. It natively accepts standard Benro S-Series sliding plates as well as industry-standard Manfrotto plates (including 501HDV, 503HDV, 701HDV, and MVH502A configurations), allowing you to swap camera bodies between different support systems without changing plates.

Dual Anti-Twist Locating Pins
The included sliding balance plate features an advanced safety configuration utilizing two spring-loaded locating alignment pins alongside the primary mounting screw. This layout physically blocks small camcorders and mirrorless housings from rotating or backing off the plate during aggressive panning movements.

Continuous Pan Drag & Fluid Locks
Designed to deliver smooth, cinematic tracking, the head is packed with a continuous pan drag module that absorbs micro-tremors and hand jitter. Independent, dedicated locking levers for both the pan and tilt horizons allow the operator to isolate camera movements to a single axis safely.

Ambidextrous Dual-Rosette Pan Handle
The fluid head features structural mechanical rosettes on both the left and right sides. This allows the included ergonomic pan handle to be mounted to either side of the chassis, easily accommodating both right- and left-handed camera operators or dual-handle configurations.

All-Terrain Retractable Spiked Feet
The base of the dual-stage legs features dual-purpose footing. For indoor or studio tracking, heavy-duty rubber shoes provide a non-slip grip on delicate floors; when working out in the elements, the rubber pads can be retracted to expose aggressive steel spikes that anchor the system firmly into dirt, grass, or gravel.
