Digital camera reviews of Induro Carbonflex 8x Tripod CX-114
Digital camera Review: Field Test
Summary: 2 Stars
Upon taking this tripod out of it's box I was pleasantly surprised. The unit looked solid, and provided stable camera support. The first issue I encountered was once the ball head was mounted onto the sticks the unit would no longer fit into the bag that came with it. I contacted Induro, where the representative told me that they were aware of the issue, and that I could buy another bag. I declined since the tripod was to be transported on my camera backpack anyway which turned out to be a mistake. On the second day in the field while transporting the tripod on my back one of the legs quietly slid out and fell to the ground. Fortunately someone hiked behind me, and noticed the loss. Obviously the tightening screws can completely unscrew which allows the tripod to disassemble itself. The separated leg had a multitude of plastic washers on it which fortunately did not fall off, otherwise it would have been impossible to reassemble the unit properly. A couple weeks later on the same trek, one of the spikes went missing. These were mounted with the wrench provided, but apparently are also subject to work their way loose. Another nuisance is the center post. There is one lock down ring which doesn't do anything, and the lock down screw bellow the head requires serious tightening to secure the post, which occasionally still slips down unexpectedly. Long story short: After six weeks of using this tripod I have come to the conclusion that an average $25 tripod would likely have held up better than this unit, and that for my next trip I'll have to invest into something more solid from a different manufacturer. I would not recommend this tripod!
