The Induro CX214 Carbonflex 8X CX-Series 4-Section Tripod Legs is a professional-level carbon fiber tripod that features an innovative center column design. In a rapid and easy motion, the center column can be converted from a standard vertical column to a horizontal cross bar, with angle adjustment flexibility. In the horizontal position, a mounted camera can have a clear view without the tripod legs getting in the way. This makes it especially ideal for nature, flat art, close-up micro photography. The column can also be used upside down and reversed.
CX-series tripods uses 8-layer, 2nd generation carbon fiber technology for its leg construction. This 8x tubing is 60% stronger overall than conventional carbon fiber tripods. This is achieved by using more fibers and less epoxy in the manufacturing blend.
Induro CX-series tripods also feature individual leg angle adjustments, a reversible center column with spring loaded weight hook, foam leg grip, anti dust and moisture rubber leg lock grips, reversible 1/4-20 to 3/8" mounting threads, a bubble level, removable rubber tips and stainless steel spikes, and mounting set screws. They also come supplied with a padded carrying bag.

Comments about Induro CX214 Carbonflex 8X CX-Series 4-Section Tripod Legs:
My Giottos lava tripod busted when I tightened the leg. Yup cracked big time. Stay away from Basalt lava tripods. Light but brittle.
I needed a light but sturdy tripod to replace it. One that fit on my camera backpack while I go trudging through the desert and canyons.
As I just got this I can see it has great construction and great quality. The center column design is a fantastic feature. If you are always seaching for the cool angle or find it difficult to close in for macros. It will surely help in that. It says it's good for 17Lbs but i'm sure it can handle way more.
It handles my 1D Mark III nicely.
