Benro Rhino Carbon Fiber Two Series Tripod/Monopod (FRHN24C)

Product overview

Benro Rhino FRHN24C: What to Know

The FRHN24C listing we verified (ASIN B08P55S4KN) is the bare tripod/monopod, it does not include a ball head, unlike most of the other products in this guide. Benro sells this same leg set bundled with its VX25 ball head under a different SKU (FRHN24CVX25) at a higher price, so if you need a head included, make sure you're looking at the right listing before ordering.

On specs, sources don't fully agree with each other, and we're disclosing that rather than picking one number: a Benro USA product page we checked lists the load capacity at roughly 39.7 lb, while a separate B&H/retailer spec summary we found lists it closer to 36.6 lb for the same FRHN24C model. Both figures sit well above the load ratings of the Peak Design, Manfrotto, and Leofoto tripods in this guide, whichever number is precisely correct, this is a heavier-duty design intended for bigger camera-and-lens combinations, or for the added leverage of monopod use. Folded length and maximum height are more consistent across sources: roughly 25.2 inches folded and 66.3 inches at full extension, at about 3.8 lb.

The standout feature is the reverse-folding leg design combined with a removable center column and detachable leg that combine into a 69-inch monopod, useful for wildlife or sports shooters who want to switch support styles without carrying two separate pieces of gear. Each leg also has an automatic angle-adjustment button for uneven terrain, and the twist-lock mechanism is Benro's standard 4-section design.

Because this is a legs-only purchase, budget for a separate ball head or gimbal head purchase on top of the tripod price if you don't already own a compatible one, that's an added cost this guide's other bundled-head options (Peak Design, Manfrotto, SmallRig) don't require.
