Velbon's EL Carmagne series responds to the demands for a lightweight durable tripod, offering superior strength and specifications while being one third lighter than their conventional aluminum counterparts. Carbon fiber is also more resilient to temperature changes.
These durable and versatile tripods have 3-positions of leg spread for normal, semi-low and full-low angle shooting, and the split rapid center column detaches appropriately to access the full range of height.
Included are also an accessory hook and a "stone bag" (tripod apron), which can be used to add stability to the tripod.

Comments about Velbon EL Carmagne 630 with PH-460B 3-Way Panhead:
The only negative comment I would have is that it did not come with a quick release, other than that I have used it considerably and found it to be sturdy and light( I backpack into the woods for pics).
