Benro Photo/Video 2 Series Hybrid Flip Head

The Benro Photo/Video 2 Series Hybrid Flip Head is a highly versatile, ultra-lightweight camera support designed for modern multi-platform content creators, vloggers, and hybrid photographers who constantly toggle between traditional landscape and vertical (portrait) video formats. By eliminating the cumbersome process of completely re-rigging your camera, this head uses a mechanical flip architecture that lets you pivot your orientation instantly.

Equipped with dual-panning axes and a dedicated stabilization lock, it delivers the fluid, judder-free motion tracking required for cinematic video pans alongside the rock-solid framing needed for high-resolution still photography.

Product Features in Detail

Instant Landscape-to-Vertical Physical Flip
Designed from the ground up for hybrid workflows, this head allows you to switch your camera orientation between horizontal and vertical modes instantly. This structural shortcut lets you seamlessly transition from capturing wide landscape shots for traditional media to filming full-bleed vertical video for social platforms without resetting your tripod legs.

Dual-Axis Panning for Advanced Creative Motion
Featuring independent panning mechanisms at both the base of the head and the quick-release platform, this head provides advanced framing flexibility. The dual-rotation layout allows you to perform smooth horizontal pans even when the primary tripod chassis is deployed on uneven, slanted ground surfaces.

High-Security Vertical Video Alignment Lock
To eliminate the micro-shakes and camera drift common when shooting in heavy vertical orientations, the flip mechanism is reinforced by a dedicated vertical video lock. When engaged in portrait mode, this lock provides extra structural stability, ensuring your camera stays perfectly parallel with your vertical axis during fast tracking motions.

Industry-Standard Arca-Type Quick Release Clamp
The mounting platform is integrated with a precision-machined, Arca-type compatible quick-release clamp. This universal mounting interface delivers robust compatibility with a huge ecosystem of third-party camera plates, custom camera cages, and telephoto lens collars, allowing for fast equipment swap-outs on set.

Smooth Drag Profile Optimized for Video
Engineered to handle the demanding requirements of moving footage, the internal panning cores are tuned to offer smooth, uniform resistance. This controlled drag profile dampens jerky hand movements, enabling creators to execute clean, cinematic pans without the sudden starts and stops typical of traditional photography heads.

Compact, Lightweight Travel Framework
By utilizing advanced, high-strength composite or aluminum alloy construction, Benro has minimized the physical footprint of the hybrid head. Its streamlined, low-profile layout packs away easily into standard camera daypacks or messenger bags, making it an ideal choice for run-and-gun filmmakers and mobile content creators on the move.
