It features a durable aluminum frame, supports up to 30 lbs, extends to 65.2 inches, and converts into a monopod with a 180° tilting center column for versatile shooting angles. Compact and travel-friendly, it folds down to just 19.5 inches and includes a 3-year warranty extendable to 5 years, making it a reliable companion for DSLR and mirrorless camera setups. ## Description The FGP28A SystemGo Plus Travel tripod series is the first to offer the compactness of a travel tripod with a versatile center column! The tripod is constructed from aluminum tubing with machined aluminum and magnesium alloy components. The tripod combines reverse folding legs that wrap around the center column providing a more compact unit for transportation, while it also has a versatile center column that can be removed from its conventional vertical position and can be swung through a 180 degree arc and locked into place at any point, which when combined with the three position leg angle settings makes this tripod perfect for low level macro photography. Other features include a built in monopod, easy to use twist leg locks, standard screw-in rubber & stainless spiked feet and a high quality padded tripod carry case. Review: Money well spent. - Too big to travel or hike with, unless you check it. But it's an unbelievable stable, solid, well crafted tripod. I did too much research with this one, mainly looking at all Benros. The perascoping neck locks secure with zero give. Review: A notably well-made and robust tripod capable of providing stability with heavy equipment. For this, weight is not excessive. - Verified Purchase in the UK This tripod was bought directly from Carmarthen Cameras but supplied via desertcart in the UK. The tripod was bought for a very specific non-travel purpose as described below but this review also assesses the tripod in terms of the manufacturer’s intended purpose as a travel tripod. The very particular use that this was bought for was as a supplementary tripod to others and to be used as specifically and exclusively as a desktop tripod for shooting wildlife through an open study window using heavy professional camera equipment just short of 6kg. Absolute stability with heavy equipment was essential and was tested on a red squirrel in dark conditions in the rain. ISO 400; shutter 1/640; focal length 490mm; tiff image size 166MB derived from raw. This image size, given these measurements, would be a serious test of the tripod and it totally delivered with clean individual fur and whisker detail on larger than life squirrel images. Thus the tripod is able to cope with low positioning and with heavy equipment. It is technically able to cope with 14k but that is a figure that would be hard to imagine and was not tested. As this is intended for travel purposes it also seems an unlikely load. The flexibility of use on offer is second only to Benbo tripods and the manufacturing is of a very high level in all respects giving competitive stability at all extensions and angles tested. The weight is not excessive given the offered stability and load bearing that inevitably requires robust manufacture. The tripod is equipped with alternative spikes for feet (with supplied tool) and a robust carry bag very suitable for demanding travel requirements. Working instructions are included and will be helpful for newcomers to the design. The tripod is not supplied with a tripod head. Bearing in mind its design intention of providing stability for heavy equipment, it seems essential to pair this tripod with a head of similar robust construction. In this case it was paired with the substantial and secure Manfrotto XPRO ball and socket head. Choice of tripod head will inevitably have an impact on overall weight. This is a notably well-made and robust tripod capable of providing stability with heavy equipment. For this, weight is not excessive. ## Features - Travel-Optimized Aluminum Design – The Benro FGP28A Go Plus tripod features durable aluminum construction with flip-lock sections and compact travel length, offering full-sized support in a portable form. - High Load Capacity & Lightweight – Supports up to 30 lb while weighing approximately 4.2 lb, making it ideal for DSLR, mirrorless, or compact cinema setups with lenses and accessories. - Monopod-Convertible & Multi-Angle Column – One leg detaches to become a monopod; center column can tilt laterally 180° for low-angle, overhead or macro shooting flexibility. - Wide Height Range – Extends to a maximum height of 65.2″ and drops to a minimum working height of 15.4″ while folding down to just 19.5″ for travel ease. - Standard limited warranty is 3 years from the date of purchase for the original owner.

The 2 in FGP28A signifies the leg series. So all it means is the FGP28A is a 2 series leg size and the FGP18A is a 1 series leg size. The larger the leg tube the more stable the tripod generally speaking. (When it comes to stability and rigidity there are other factors involved such as leg locks and materials, etc.) **Q: hi. what is the weight of the tripod only?** A: Hello, the tripod itself weighs 3 pounds. It's a fantastic product. Keep in mind, it does not come with a ball head. You must order that separate (as I learned the hard way 😊)Hope this helps! **Q: Which head does it come with, nothing is specificity pictured or mentioned.** A: This tripod does not come with the head. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Money well spent. *by S***R on September 15, 2019* Too big to travel or hike with, unless you check it.

It was marked "Used, Like New" for $150 ($50 less than brand new tripod) from an Amazon 3rd party seller named VIDEO CAMERA CENTER. As advertised, this FGP28A arrived in a "Like New" condition, as if it had never been touched--new packaging with tags attached, etc. Came in a pouch inside of a well-made, padded case with pockets, which included spikes for the feet and a shoulder strap. I own a Gitzo 5543XL, an Induro 404XL, a Sirui P-424SR, and now this FGP28A. In the past, I owned an Oben AC-1441 and a Manfrotto 290XTA3. So, I have experience with tripod equipment of different brands, different price point, and different levels of craftsmanship. The FGP28A is well crafted, light, solid, and versatile. It has a versatile center column and an easy link port. It cost 1/10 of what I paid for the Gitzo and 1/4 of what I paid for the Induro; but as with those more expensive tripods, the FGP28A matches its price point. It is worth $150-$200. On the other hand, the Manfrotto290XTA3 cost about $120-$150, but it is not worth that much money. I use the rock-solid, everlasting Gitzo for video with a slider and for architectural and studio photography with a 405 geared head. I use the Induro for everything else except travel for which I will use the FGP28A. I anticipate the FGP28A will last many years because it will only be used for travel and whenever I need a small, light gearset. I recommend this tripod for travel and light, occasional use. Update: Tripod has held up very well. My go to travel tripod for backpacking/hiking. Use this tripod in lakes, mud, any terrain. Comes with spikes for added security. Also own two Gitzo tripods which I use in studio (paid too much to tear those up in the field). This is a good, reliable tripod for taking into the field and doing the hard work of photographiong while hiking etc. ## Frequently Bought Together - Benro FGP28A SystemGo Plus Tripod Only, Travel, Aluminum with Monopod, Black - Benro Triple Action Ball Head w/ PU60 Quick Release Plate (IB2),Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/35447979-benro-go-plus-travel-aluminum-tripod-4-section-flip-lock](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/35447979-benro-go-plus-travel-aluminum-tripod-4-section-flip-lock) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
