New shipment of Benro stuff landed

Postby birddog114 on Thu Oct 06, 2005 11:30 am

Just landed instore are:

New Benro ballhead:

- KJ-2 is excatly with B1 head and only two knobs, the retention is similar to Markins on the master (Big) knob.

KB-3 : nearly twice bigger than the KB-2, its ball is damm bigger than the RRS BH55 with a lens plate twice bigger than the KB-2, closed to the RRS LCF-14. It can challenge with any 500/ 600 Pro zoom lens without sweat.

Monopod:
- All MC and MP series, look cool as Gitzo.

Members who comes to the mini meet on Saturday will have real view, play and test all range of Benro Products.

OK, today I lucky loan a genuine Arca Swiss B1 head, new, it costs around AU$500.00, and I stood the Benro KJ-2 side by side with the AS B1, nothing I can see the difference in between the two units.

So, KJ-2 $290.00 ex-GST vs AS B1 =$500.00 tomorrow.

Same as Monopods
