Comments about Velbon Velbon EL Carmagne 530A 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs, Black, Supports 8.8 lbs., Requires Head.:

I've had one for several years which I use with the Velbon PH-157Q video head primarily as support for either a 65mm or 80mm Pentax spotting scope. For a tall person like myself, the Velbon is very tall for its weight, extremely stable, and so far very durable. I also have a heavier load Gitzo carbon fiber tripod to compare it with, and I have been extremely impressed with the Velbon, particularly for its bargain price.

Comments about Velbon Velbon EL Carmagne 530A 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs, Black, Supports 8.8 lbs., Requires Head.:

Terrific tripod but note that its Max Load capacity is 8.83 lbs (4 kg) as specified on the box (I just received it). A lot of websites have the same misinformation, apparently due to poor spec download from Velbon. The only "25" is for diameter of top leg in mm's. But a wonderful and stable tripod... but short of my load requirements.
