Very happy with the Induro C314. I have been looking at the Gitzo products and compared them side by side, whereas the quality is on par. The price difference between the Gitzo and Induro I assume is mostly due to the manufacturing location, whereas the Induro is Made in China and the Gitzo is Made in Italy. While in many cases this impacts the quality of a product, in this case I feel that the Induro meets Gitzo's industry leading quality.

This is a solid tripod of excellent build quality. Stable enough for a 300mm lens, and big enough for those 6' and taller!

To be honest, this tripod is bigger than I had imagined. Fully extended with the center column up, it is over 6' tall, and this is before the ball head gets put on. Now that I've used it, realize its versatility. Best part is that the carbon does not get cold like aluminum, nor is it as noisy. I can set it up without bothering people or wildlife.

I use this for a Nikon 200-400 f/4 lens.

I thought this tripod might be a good value, but was disappointed the first time I tested it. Two (2) of the rubber bushing covers on the legs came loose from around the bushings. The adjustment and tightening of the legs, which did not feel totally secure to start, became "iffy" after this. Must have total confidence in a tripod's stability, as well as its ease of use and solid adjustment.

Excellent for heavy lens

I use this for a Nikon 200-400 f/4 lens.
Carbon 8X C-series carbon fiber tripods are light weight, fast action and offer ultimate strength along with reliable performance. They are made from the latest generation high quality, 8-layer carbon fiber tubing. The Carbon 8X C-series is 60% stronger than the conventional carbon fiber tripods.
Each of its leg lock has a specially designed anti-dust and moisture seal, along with a removable rubber or stainless steel spike feet. Moreover, each leg of this tripod can be bent at an angle of 24, 55 and 80 degrees to accommodate uneven terrain or awkward shooting situations. Anti-twist leg sections and a grooved center column make this tripod's setup and breakdown quick and easy.
