The tripod legs are gorgeous and have amazing stability. Paired with a RRS BH-55 LR it is an amazing tool. Both the length of the legs, and their range of motion give me access to stable ground level shots and shots from above my 6 foot tall point of view. Wish I had this years ago!

Super steady, angle adjustment is great. Twist locks are smooth and consistent. Just as good or better than my friend's Gitzo and costs less. I would buy it again. Using with big telephoto prime. I highly recommend it.

The FLM 38L is my first heavy duty tripod and it didn?t disappoint. Based on Nick Page?s recommendation and review, the tripod lived up to the hype. Rock solid in a variety of conditions, fast easy setup and for its size and capacity it?s super light. Don?t think about it, just buy it.

Be ready to capture stunning images with the CP38-L4 II 4-Section Compact/Tall 10X Carbon Fiber Tripod with 100mm Bowl, a top-tier offering from FLM Canada. Designed specifically for the North American market, this tripod stands out with its robust construction and lightweight design, making it an ideal companion for photographers on the go.
This tripod features a 100mm bowl, but it's also compatible with a 75mm half-ball when used with the optionally available 75-100 adapter. This versatility allows you to adapt to various shooting conditions and equipment needs.
Constructed with 10-layer Carbon Fiber tubes, this tripod offers exceptional durability without compromising on weight. The CNC-milled apex enhances the tripod's stability, ensuring your camera stays steady for those critical shots.
The Series II tripods are designed to be taller, lighter, and stronger than their predecessors. They are also more compact, folding down to a convenient 23 inches for easy transportation. Please note that the legs on these models do not fold upwards, a feature that was present in older models with a center column.
The CP38-L4 II 4-Section Compact/Tall 10X Carbon Fiber Tripod also boasts improved leg grips for a secure hold, revised leg angle locks for added stability, and a new apex made of CNC-milled aluminum. This upgrade significantly enhances the tripod's strength and durability, setting it apart from other tripods that use die-cast parts.
Finally, FLM ensures the quality of their products by manufacturing the tripods at their FLM China facility, with assembly and testing conducted in Germany. This rigorous process guarantees that you're getting a reliable, high-quality product that's ready to support your photography endeavors.
