[QUOTE="westmill, post: 61264, member: 9330"] Carbon fibre are good, light and strong ! Its a bit of a mixed bag and compromise though. A heavy tripod is better and far more stable outside. Especialy in winds. The downside then of course is that you have to carry the thing. The ones I like, have hook underneath which you can susspend a weighted bag underneath. You then just need to carry a bag. find a few rocks or watever comes to hand. Its simple but efective and allows a lighter tripod. I use a manfrotto with heavy weight ball head. When I use it I genraly carry it with camera attached over my shoulder. It works just fine, but then Im restricted to just watever lens I have attached, because no way will I carry more on a bit of a hike :) [/QUOTE]
