Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 190CX3 3 Section Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs (Height 2.36" - 57.5", Maximum Load 11 lbs):
Very light. Great for hiking. Maybe 4-section would be a little smaller.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 190CX3 3 Section Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs (Height 2.36" - 57.5", Maximum Load 11 lbs):
very easy to carry when it is open or folded because of its weight. It can handle my Panasonic DVX100 easily.

Comments about Bogen Imaging Bogen - Manfrotto 190CX3 3 Section Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs (Height 2.36" - 57.5", Maximum Load 11 lbs):
In brief, I consider it a great value for anyone who needs a really good tripod in it's size/weight class.
It's great for interior work: light weight, easy to setup and breakdown, easy to handle in tight spaces, and quiet (keeps clients more at ease). Also, apart from light weight and ease of handling, CF is by nature less likely to damage anything it might bump into than aluminum, so in both handling and material it's much safer to use in clients' homes than the old B/M 3221 I was using.
Apart from that, stability is much better than I expected from such a light and compact tripod - with the center post down it is more rigid than my old 3221 (both with legs fully extended) - more than adequate for wide angle to medium teles though it's obviously not designed for long-lens wildlife photography!
The leg locks are excellent, the leg angle releases are really smooth and easy, but there is no provision to adequately secure the little plastic leg lock adjustment wrench to the tripod.
(And no, I don't work for Bogen, I'm just a very satisfied owner!)
