I believe that SLIK and Manfrotto are the hottest.
Which brand and model should i get it?( hope u can stage at least 2 model u are comparing)

Max load: +-5kg ( don't less then 3.5kg)
Max height: 1.5m+
Weight: very light
Material : Carbon Fiber
Closed Length: shorter then the brand you compare
Cost: Which one is cheaper

Anyway, SLIK and Manfrotto, which is more branded? Because re-sale also consider on it.

OPtional 1: what is the price for brand news u are comparing
OPtional 2: If anyone want to sell 2nd , also can reply.( Wts )<-- for search purpose

Gitzo 1128 should fit nicely, around 500+

Get Gitzo 1128(4.5kg load) which cost $628 brand new.

or

Slik Carbon fiber, dunno the model, same weight as Gitzo1128 though slighter bigger but hold up to 5kg load and cost $500++

I ended up chosing gitzo because if has a hook to hold my bag to add stability and it is more compact and look more solid.

Hope this will help.

i call up to CP and ask for the price. He asked me what kind of lens and body i have. Well, after the discussion, he told me should buy at least max 10kg load. Sian, if so the tripods will be very heavy.
I change my mind. Which brands tripods (carbon material) is the lightest.
for 5+-kg load and 10+-kg load.
Thank
