Benro has announced three new fluid heads in the S8 Pro, S6 Pro & S4 Pro, replacing the original S8, S6 & S4 heads.
What’s new?
The new line of S Pro fluid heads takes the existing models and updates them with a new modern design. Looking at the specifications, the payloads for each model are the same as the previous ones.
Each head has a tilt range of +90°/-75° and features continuous tilt drag, pan drag, tilt lock & pan lock controls.
An accessory mount on each side of the head is handy for attaching a monitor or audio recorder.
The S Pro heads use the same Manfrotto compatible plate but also has an updated CNC machined-aluminum design.
