Digital camera reviews of Velbon El Carmagne 530 Carbon Fiber Tripod with Pan Head and Case
Digital camera Review: Better than expected
Summary: 5 Stars
I was considering a Manfrotto 055XB but it is just too heavy to lug around. Even the 055MF model is 5 pounds, not to mention very expensive. I spent hours in the camera stores comparing models. From the moment I picked this one up I liked it, mainly because of it's light weight. It's less than 4 lbs! Second, to my surprise, it was tall enough for me, and third, the price. This tripod is just as stable as the manfrottos, much lighter, and comes with a very nice magnesium head. It does not have a quick release head, but a tightening lever that makes attachment and removal pretty quick and easy. I can live with the extra second or two that it takes to connect. It also comes with a great warranty and a very nice carrying bag. For a well built, carbon fiber and magnesium tripod at a great price, I highly recommend it.
