You might guess that I'm a bit enthused by this remarkable Tripod. If you can afford it, don't hesitate. I got the one with carbon fibre legs . . love it!

Glad to hear you're pleased with your new "legs." Makes all the difference, doesn't it? Elevates your work to a whole other level, wouldn't you agree?

Just one tip, particularly for those in cold climates. Any fluid head needs to be warmed up before use. No I don't mean with a water bottle, just a few pans and tilts to get the oil flowing.

Forgive my ignorance but what is the benefit of carbon fiber legs? I could see it if weight is a factor, such as needing to carry your gear up a mountain, but otherwise wouldn’t more mass in the legs provide greater overall stability?
