u dun buy carbon fibre one lah, they have many aluminium ones.

Ya lor, their Aluminium ones are good too.

besides price, do factor in the weight of the tripod as well.

if u get a tripod that is heavier then 1.5KG, i am sure it will collect dust in your home.

Check the specs yourself.

One more lobang for you, carbon fibre with good ballhead for about $200+ a bit. Very worth it, better than Benro I think.

For me I wanted light & also very short folded length thus paid more.

I was poisoned into buying a Gitzo Traveller + Markin Q-Balls last year.
So far used them outdoor less than 5 times.

Wah! Gitzo I cannot afford...
Since already paid for it, try to use often.

After I saw Charlie's bazooka during last Pentax Outing, I was glad to settle on the Gitzo.:bsmilie:
Anyway, there are other carbon tripods that cost less.

But I can't find one that is short folded length <40cm & weighs abt 1kg...
I saw the Vanguard Ultra Maxi L (aluminium) fits the bill but can only take load up to 2kg. But still I find it quite impressive as it's not using carbon fibre.

The Benro A350EX weighs in at around 1 kg, folded to 43cm and has a load of 4kg. Good travel tripod at a reasonable price. Easily go inside a backpack. Always with me on travel.

I stow it away after much frustration with the white tiger :bsmilie:

It's now strictly for landscaping.

I saw the specs says 40cm but not sure if it includes the head?

I use A350EX all the time, but feel that it's quite short for me. Anyways it's just a small trade-off for having such a small package.
