Carbon Fiber Tripod INNOREL KT324C Professional Portable Compact Travel Tripod for DSLR Camera Heavy Duty Stand Support 1.28in/32.5mm Tube with Low Gravity Center Panoramic Ball head Center Column

Like many others I've bought numerous tripods over the years, starting cheap and, in my case, working up to the industry recognised best in Gitzo. I have both a 3 and 5 Series Gitzo but wanted a light but sturdy travel tripod for those occasions where packing the big guns was just not practical. So after a fair bit of deliberation I decided on this model and kept my fingers crossed that something costing a fraction of the cost of my main, 'serious tripods', would be good enough to carry my expensive Canon gear and yet still pack small and be light. Surely that can't be possible?So, it arrived, and after unpacking, examining and then. extending to it's full height, I was, to say the least, well impressed. Sure, it doesn't feel quite as well engineering as my Gitzos, and it may flex just a little bit more than ideal, but I'm nit picking given the weight and cost. You do get better if you pay 4 to 6 times the cost but not that much better. At £175 (without a head) this is superb value for money and I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a sturdy, lightweight, cost effective tripod.

Brilliant tripod, sturdy, easy to use and very light weight.

Been looking for a carbon fibre, lightweight tripod without a centre column. This model is perfect. Very sturdy, light enought to carry and comes with a set of interchangeable spikes. Additionally you get a centre column extension if needed. I found that with a ball head fitted the camera was the perfect height without any need of the extension, I'm 5'8". The legs have 3 setting for angle allowing to get down low.

bought this to replace an old tripod. and this is just amazing very sturdy and well made great for my wildlife photography and landscape so far, I have no complaints and am glad I chose it. very impressed and great value for money.

Nice lightweight tripod with a quality bag. Very sturdy when used with H80 fluid head and heavy 20x80 binoculars. Usable at high magnification with a smaller telescope/mount (combined 7kg) provided you leave the center column in the bag.

I bought this after carrying a beast of a Manfrotto tripod for years, although not as sturdy it makes up for it, with it being so portable and light. It's fantastic and my go-to when heading out with my camera, cheers

Obviously time will tell, but so far this is the best tripod I've brought. I was doubtful as to how good this would be for the price and being carbon fiber but this has exceeded my expectations.It is slightly heavier than my previous aluminum tripod, is only slightly longer at its packed away size, but fully extended much taller and much more sturdier. I use it mostly when videoing with camera and RF100-500mm lens but also sometimes with my 500mm prime.

One of the best tripods I have come across at this price. Sturdy with a great load capacity for heavy lenses. This has a definite recommendation from me despite not having used it extensively yet. The overall construction and materials used are an engineering dream.
