My main concern in buying these legs was the carbon fiber -- my concerns were alleviated though when I received it. The carbon fiber feels extremely durable and the leg locks at set angles are very nice. The legs came a bit tight out of the box, but there's an Allen wrench included so you can adjust the tension to your heart's content.
My primary reason for buying it was so it would be able to fit in a standard 24" carry-on piece of luggage on airplanes. The traveler series is well worth it for stability and compactness.

This is so light and compact, I throw it on a tripod holster and take it everywhere. I can put my D3 on it with a f/2.8 70-200mm lens and have all the stability you could hope for. Well worth the cost.

I searched for days and days to find a tripod. My requirements: 1) Small enough to fit in carryon baggage (16"), 2) Light, 3) Strong enough to hold a dSLR w/ 500mm lens, and 4) Tall enough so I wouldn't have to stoop over all day (I'm 6'1".) This was a new model when I bought it, and the best candidate for the job. The only thing I choked on is the price, never before paying more than [$] for a tripod, even for a heavy view camera. Mated with a Manfrotto hydrostatic ball head (looks funny) it handles all my needs. I actually use it all the time as it's easy to carry in a camera bag or backpack and light (about 5lbs with head) After 7 days in Yellowstone and 10 days in Yosemite, as well as around town, it's gotten quite a workout and looks like new. I'm very happy with it.
