[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 547441, member: 13090"] If you want carbon fiber, buy carbon fiber; but your comment makes it sound like you think all carbon fiber is created equal, or utilized equally; I can tell you from experience it's not. Nor does carbon fiber automatically equate to a better tripod; especially at the low-end of the price spectrum. Having worked in the Fine Arts department of a college for over fifteen years now, and having seen equipment come and go in a photography department staffed by roughly 30 professional photographers, and hundreds of students every year, I feel like I have a pretty decent frame of reference. The Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 is not the lightest, nor the heaviest; it's not the cheapest but it's certainly not the most expensive. What it is, is an excellent all-around tripod. Good luck with whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
