Experience with Benro A150EXU?

Tradscot Loc: Cairns, Australia
 
Considering purchasing a Benro A150EXU, but unable to find any comments on the reliability/suitability of this item. Benro, in general, appears to be well thought of, but this one is at the lower end of the price list, " Get what you pay for "', I know! My interest is mainly macro / close up with the occasional bird shot. Equipment is Canon 60D, 100mm 2.8 macro, nissen 866 flash. I have some mobility problems so ease of operation would be good. Appreciate any comments from UHHers that have used this tripod. Thanks. Bill.

Benro seems to enjoy a good reputation, but the model you specify seems to be a bit light for your needs. I would suggest you look at the A1570T (tripod) or A500FBH1 (with ballhead).

Thanks for your input, seems like it's back to the drawing board and a little / or a lot more research!
