There are just over 48 hours left for Benro’s kickstarter campaign: they have created the Benro Theta “Intelligent Modular Travel Tripod”, an Arca-swiss compatible tripod with a built-in auto-levelling function. At the press of a button, the legs will automatically adjust to level the tripod, using a built-in motor and gyroscope. (An optional battery is required.)
Check out the Benro Theta kickstarter campaign — pledges with tripod rewards begin at $349 (a $250 savings from the $599 MSRP of the tripod).
As with all Kickstarter campaigns, there is always a risk that creators will not be able to fulfill the rewards of the pledge. The company behind this campaign is well-known in the photography accessories industry, so the risk is lower (but never zero). Pledge at your own risk!
