Fabulous Tripod
I am a professor at Pratt Institute of Industrial Design and

this tripod is fabulous! Because many different students with

different abilities use the tripod, I was concerned about it’s

durability . The CARBONLITEX10 is definitely up to the

challenge. We are using the latest 10 megapixel Samsung

Digital SLR and the tripod works flawlessly.

Because the students are in industrial design they have

inspected the tripod carefully. Functionally it has been well

thought out and the quality of the styling and aesthetics,

attention to detail and workmanship is really high. In other

words my students think that it is a beautifully designed

product and I agree.

Legs are good, head is HORRIBLE. Get an El Carmagne instead
I bought this about 2 months ago. The legs are really good and strong, but the head sucks. It’s very sticky (no matter how much you loosen the pan handles) so it’s useless for panning and tilting. In addition, the head adds a lot of weight to the legs. If you’ve already bought one (like I did), I suggest dumping the useless head and buying another. The hook for the stone bag has already broken off — and here’s the kicker — I’ve NEVER used it! I would buy a Velbon El Carmagne 530, 630 or 640 instead for the price, weight and ease of use.
