I've had a Benbo for over 15 years and would not even consider anything else, for any photographic purpose. A number of years ago I even built a platform for it and used it as a projector stand. And what other tripod (if the need arises) could you sit or stand on without fear that it would collapse or bend (or expect to do so at 15+ years of age). It is the only piece of gear that I have not changed or upgraded and would buy another instantly if it was ever stolen (which is the only way I feel it will ever let me down).
