Velbon EL Carmagne 530

$300.00 Est. at Amazon

from "Douggy Fresh", www.bhphotovideo.com
also, because it's carbon fiber, you don't have to worry about water, (i've set this up in slow-moving, stagnant streams for some shots).
from www.bestbuy.com
strong lightweight materials like carbon fiber and magnesium increase the price.
from www.amazon.com
for a well built, carbon fiber and magnesium tripod at a great price, i highly recommend it.
from www.amazon.com
it is really steady and with most carbon fiber/magnesium tripods starting at $400, it's also a bargain.
from www.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.

Manfrotto 190XPROB 3 Section Aluminum Pro

$300.00 Est. at Amazon

from "fstopmike", www.bhphotovideo.com
i think $400 + for a smaller and lighter carbon fiber is just a bit too much.it is 3lbs lighter than the tripod that i was using for the same purpose.
from www.amazon.com
this is my 1st carbon fiber tripod of eight and cf was not the only deciding factor.
from www.amazon.com

Manfrotto 055XB

$163.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
- without paying over a g for a carbon fiber tripod...
from www.amazon.com
lightweight tripods, a sweet carbon fiber tripod, and several that have proved to be nothing more than junk.
from www.amazon.com
i selected the manfrotto 055xprob pro tripod legs as a reasonable compromise between the expensive manfrotto carbon fiber models and the even more expensive gitzo pro models.
from www.amazon.com
however, getting below that weight usually means upgrading to carbon fiber, which is about 2.5 times as expensive.
from www.amazon.com
carbon fiber tripods are not all they are cracked up to be.

Velbon EL Carmagne 630

$413.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bhphotovideo.com
i have kept current with the debates about tripod materials such as lava and carbon fiber, and i am aware that my new velbon doesn't have the brand recognition and respect of gitzo and other
from www.bhphotovideo.com
at $290, it is about as cheap as there is in the carbon fiber genre.

i strongly recommend this tripod to anyone who wants an excellent carbon fiber tripod without breaking the bank.

Pro Line Dolica AX620B100 Proline Aluminum

$49.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the only difference i can see between this one and the more expensive ones is that 1) this is aluminum, not carbon-fiber, and 2) it says "proline" on it instead of "manfrotto".
from www.amazon.com
i also own the dolica cx620b104 61-inch proline carbon fiber tripod.

Manfrotto 190XPROB PRO ALU

$148.00 Est. at Amazon

from "Perfesser Bear", www.adorama.com
outgrow or need to upgrade.this system is not the lightest around -- the 190 series is now available with carbon fiber tubes and magnesium castings -- but with its 3-section legs it is rock solid.
from www.amazon.com
it is not as light as a carbon fiber version but i did not want to spend $400 or more on a tripod.
from www.amazon.com
it's relatively light weight (there is a carbon fiber version if you need something lighter), flexible, very stable and quick to adjust.
from www.amazon.com
it is a little heavier than the carbon fiber tripods, but its also cheaper.
from www.amazon.com
the price is about right for a quality aluminum 'pod -- the cheaper ones are less well-made and/or can't hold as much, and the carbon fiber ones cost 3-5x as much, and shave only a pound/pound and a
