The Benchmark Inverted tripod delivers true standing height plus seated and ground‑level options while folding down short enough to travel or hike easily. Its inverted three-section leg design keeps the structure secure and responsive, giving you confidence with long exposures, panoramas, and telephoto work. Raised, dust-resistant twist locks stay high on the legs and away from dirt, sand, and snow, so you can adjust height while staying behind the camera. The four selectable leg angles with wide magnetic pull tabs make fast, glove-friendly repositioning simple in any terrain.
The BH‑40 LR II ball head adds smooth camera movement, a separate tension control, and a panning base, making it easy to fine‑tune your composition. Its large lever‑release RRS dovetail, Arca‑style clamp delivers fast, repeatable mounting with RRS plates and L‑brackets—ideal when you’re swapping between bodies, lenses, and orientations. A 90‑degree drop‑notch gives you an instant portrait position without compromising stability or slowing you down.
With a 40 lb working load capacity, the Benchmark Inverted provides the stiffness and damping needed for heavier mirrorless or DSLR bodies and longer lenses. The BH‑40’s mid‑sized profile keeps weight and center of gravity tight at the apex, helping resist vibration and wind on exposed locations. Proudly Made in USA, this bundle delivers full-size stability in a travel-ready platform built for serious image makers.
FINISH YOUR RRS SYSTEM
HEADS
Every RRS tripod is designed to work as part of a system, and the right head is what turns a stable platform into a fast, precise tool. From compact ball heads to dedicated shooting and video solutions, RRS heads deliver smooth control, secure lockup, and Arca‑style compatibility across bodies, lenses, and rifles. Take a look at our tripod heads to build out your system and dial in the control that fits how you work.
CONNECT YOUR GEAR
PLATES & RAILS
RRS plates and rails are the link between your tripod and your gear, giving cameras, lenses, and rifles a dedicated RRS dovetail interface that locks securely into our clamps. By standardizing on RRS-spec mounting plates and multi-purpose rails, you can move quickly between bodies, optics, and support setups without reconfiguring your system each time.
