Well when i finally got the second one home all I can say is wow. To this point I have been using a handy-down from my mother and I can instantly can feel the difference. I have a heavy canon 50d and a big lense and flash so my gear is pretty heavy, The Velbon holds the weight very sturdily and the overall manufacturing of the tri-pod is top-notch. I went to a local camera store before coming to best buy and they tried to sell me the very same(or identical version velbon) of tri-pod except their price was 350$. from Bestbuy.com Crucial factors like height and stability come at the expense of increased weight. Strong lightweight materials like carbon fiber and magnesium increase the price. The Velbon El Carmagne 530 does a very nice job of balancing these trade-offs. It is light, just under 4lbs and sturdy enough to support all but the heaviest camera and lens combos. from Bestbuy.com I bought this, but wish i got the 540 instead.... why? because the 540 is only a little price difference, but the 530 is long and for me, just an inch too big, the 540 would probably have fit in my carry=on better.... but as a tripod, this thing is freaking amazing! from Amazon.com I have used this Velbon El Carmagne 530 tripod for 6 months on my Canon 1D MKII with 300/f2.8 or 400/f4 lenses (8 to 10 pounds total weight). Great price for a great tripod. from Amazon.com I already have one Velbon 530 and just ordered my second one via Amazon. The one review on here was exactly correct. from Amazon.com I already have one Velbon 530 and just ordered my second one via Amazon. The one review on here was exactly correct. from Amazon.com Being new to photography,I purchased the Velbon Carmagne 530 carbon fiber tripod with PH-250B magnesium head for my Canon A95 camera, based upon several other favorable reviews. I wanted a lightweight but durable tripod that was easy to use. from Amazon.com what's great about it:?lightweight, sturdy, price what's not so great:?no quick release plate, could be easier to use "as with many things in life, buying a tripod is an exercise in managing from Bestbuy.com what's great about it:?lightweight what's not so great:?no cheap "i bought this tripod in connection with the purchase of a lowepro trekker aw ii backpack so i could take my gear and tripod hiking. from Bestbuy.com the tripod is lightweight, yet sturdy -- good for hiking. from Bhphotovideo.com
