The second generation Travel Angel tripod is kind of breakthrough of Benro, as it introduced the monopod conversion function into the reverse folding traveler tripod, making the tripod both portable and versatile. That's why it's one of the best selling models of the Benro family.
Anyway, as it's been in the market for 2 years already, the successor model - 3rd generation Travel Angel tripod was released, with more advanced monopod conversion function. Please read our article "Benro 3rd Generation Traveler Tripods" for the detail.
