lancetkenyon Report post Posted March 21, 2017 The aluminum tripod really weighs the same as the carbon fiber? Wow! Kind of wished I would have known that. My aluminum tripod weighs more than double what my CF tripod weighs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yotebuster Report post Posted March 21, 2017 The aluminum tripod really weighs the same as the carbon fiber? Wow! Kind of wished I would have known that. My aluminum tripod weighs more than double what my CF tripod weighs. I think you're looking at the head weight, the cf is 3lb 10oz and the aluminum is 4lb 7 oz. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yotebuster Report post Posted March 21, 2017 I'm glad you wrote something as I saw the 1lb 7oz thing and thought that was the weight on the tripod and was about to order it. Then saw that you said the aluminum was same weight which got me really fired up to order one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
