This tripod has worked extremely well for me. I was looking for a tripod that could do it all and this fit the bill. I used it quite a bit this fall at football shots at my sons games. I also used for fireworks, landscape, nature and portraits. I also did long exposure water fall shots that it worked very well. It is lite, and adapts to almost any situation. The hook on the center post allows your to easily add weight for increased stabilization for high winds etc. The price is very right as well

Great product at it's price point. Few things surprise me, but this little "big" tripod sure fits the bill. Sets up quickly and securely. Uneven terrain is no problem. I escpecially like the horizontal mounting option for the center column which easily facilitates shooting in a light tent and products in awkward orientations. Flexibility and stability in a compact and aesthetic package, what's not to like?

The CarbonFlex 8X CX-series tripods are made of the latest generation of high quality 8-layer carbon fiber tubing. The CX-series is 60% stronger than conventional carbon fiber tripods. Each leg lock has a specially designed anti-dust and moisture seal, along with removable rubber or stainless steel spikes.
In addition, they offer an innovative vertical/horizontal center column design. In a rapid and easy motion, the center column can be converted from a standard vertical column to a horizontal cross bar. In the horizontal position, a mounted camera can have a clear view without the tripod legs getting in the way, to achieve challenging and creative angles.
Especially advantageous for nature and on-location industrial shooters, the CarbonFlex 8X is the perfect choice for photographing flat art, close-up macro photography and for those shooting situations that require total flexibility in camera positioning. It offers vertical, horizontal, panning, rotating and angular positioning of the center column in one of the most versatile designs to be available in the photo industry.
In addition, CarbonFlex has a unique center column design. During normal shooting you can adjust the center column and bring it back to its normal position to maintain the gravity and stability. The collection includes all the features of Carbon 8X C-series tripods.
