An embodiment of strength and stability, the Everest T5 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod is a premium choice for professional and semi-professional photographers. This robust tripod is designed to withstand demanding workloads, making it an ideal companion for on-location shoots and travel photography. Constructed from 10X carbon fiber, the T5 offers superior strength and durability. Its innovative center column design ensures compactness and extreme low angle performance, making it versatile for various shooting conditions. The center assembly is interchangeable and can be removed without disturbing the head placement, offering flexibility and convenience. The T5 features auto-stop leg levers that automatically snap into the next angle position, eliminating the struggle of adjusting leg angles. This feature allows photographers to quickly set the leg splay to their specific preference. The tripod leg length can be adjusted to any extension by simply twisting the leg lock clockwise to loosen the grip, sliding the leg to the desired extension, and locking it in place by twisting the leg lock counterclockwise. The Everest T5 offers multiple options for the use of the Center Column, making it a versatile tool for both still camera support and videography. The traditional center shaft rises and falls at the selection of height, while the half-bowl swivels and sets up according to the user's preference. For low camera angle setups, the tripod can be used without the center column, providing freedom from leg angle limitations. The half bowl and flat plate options are ideal for low-angle shots, as most of the center column is removed for the adaptation. The Everest H4 Ball Head with Arca-Type Quick Release, part of the 3POD Everest Series, is a feature-rich addition to the tripod. Crafted from CNC forged, anodized aluminum, the H4 Ball Head offers a wear-resistant finish and an innovative flip-lock clamping quick-release plate for rapid locking and releasing of cameras. The H4 also features damping for flawlessly smooth movement, jitter-free panning, and a convenient inscribed 360 Degree scale for perfect positioning. The Everest T5 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with H4 Ball Head and Arca-Type Quick Release is more than just a camera support system; it's a testament to the superior craftsmanship and advanced technology that defines the Everest brand.

I am an all day, every day tripod user, and I have more broken tripods from the last 20yrs than most people have. I really like this tripod.
Pros...
Very sturdy
Tall,
Good leg diameter, easy to carry
1/4 20 and 3/8 mounts beside the head area
Looks great
The tripod bag is more of a hard-shell case and works with the head on as well. In all honesty, I never used a case for more than a few minutes before, I have used this every day.
Several mounting plates
short throw leg locks
Center column is included and a flat plate is included and a leveler is included
Price to this level of carbon fiber is great
Few sharp edges


Cons
A bit heavier than I was expecting for its height (also kind of a good thing)
The mounting screw with the recessed 1/4 inside the 3/8 is not the best. It works but I would prefer a flip-able screw.
The center column twist lock works great, but I wish it was more like the leg twist locks in shape.

Punches above its weight

I honestly can't remember the last time I bought something that felt as utterly well-built as this. I haven't even used it in the field yet and I already love it.
First, it's incredibly sturdy and all of its components look and feel amazingly well-made. It's a touch heavier than I would have guessed, but well worth it for the size and strength.
Second, I love the height. As a tall photographer I'm often left crouching down at my travel tripod's max height. When I invested in a second studier tripod, I was surprised to see that this at its max height was well above my head/eye level. I'd estimate its max height to be between 6'9'' and 7' (>2 meters)
Finally, I love the accessories and configurability of it. The ball head is wonderful, sturdy, and easily adjusted. The 2-in-one 3/8 and 1/4" screws are clever and very functional. Even with a ball head, it's easily panned on a horizontal axis with convenient adjustment levers. I'm just so, so happy with this, especially at this price. I almost love the tripod more than my new camera (which is saying a lot)

Extremely well made, sturdy, and functional. Couldn't be happier. A++

I am in the process of writing a book on wildlife photography techniques and gear.  Consequently, I have bought and tested many tripods and heads.  I had been searching for a really good, moderately priced set of legs that would accommodate a between-the-legs leveling device which I could  recommend.  (I find such devices to be easier to use than any half ball leveler.)  Adorama's half price  holiday special on this model, which included such a device, was too good for me to pass up.  When it arrived I chose that configuration, and thoroughly tested it.  I was pleased to discover that it performed well.  For its weight class it was as stable as any I have tested.   I appreciated the inclusion of its bubble level, which was readable, even when a gimble head was mounted on its leveling platform. I also appreciated the inclusion of rubber grips on two legs as well as the inclusion of a decent case.  (Since I outfitted it with a quick link device to allow me to switch from a point and shoot head to the gimbal one, I chose to replace the case with one that allowed room for stowing the gimbal head in an exterior side pocket.)  I am very pleased with the resulting package and plan to take it backpacking, despite its slightly greater weight than a traveler design, since it is much faster to level and works well with either of the two heads to support even a long telephoto lenses on a full sized, gripped, DSLR.
