Benro Theta: a tripod that levels itself

This article was translated from Dutch with the help of AI. Read the original.

Benro, a tripod manufacturer, has designed a brand-new tripod. The ]Benro Thera. What makes this tripod special is that it can level itself. Benro has also added more clever features. It really is a smart tripod.

You can add extra removable modules to the tripod. To automatically level your camera, you need the battery module. A gyroscope and electric motors in the tripod ensure that your photos are always level.

The same battery can also be used to power other modules. You can actually use it as a power bank, for example to charge your camera. If you use it for levelling, one charge should allow the tripod to level itself 8,000 times.

There is also a camera control module, which lets you control your camera remotely via your smartphone. The GoLive module lets you live stream video from your camera to, for example, Youtube.

There will be two sizes, the Theta and the Theta Max. The Theta extends to a maximum of 1.55 metres and the Max to 1.70 metres. The tripods are made of carbon fibre.

Benro is launching this tripod through a Kickstarter campaign. The target of 46,606 euros has already been comfortably exceeded, with the current total standing at 916,000 euros. Benro will therefore actually produce the tripod.

Through Kickstarter, the Theta currently costs you 329 euros. You pay 375 euros for the Theta Max. You have to pay extra for the battery, 90 dollars, and the other modules. The final retail price of the Theta, after the Kickstarter, is expected to be around 599 dollars.
