The Velbon GEO E630 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod features lightweight, sturdy legs that are actually composed of a carbon fiber and basalt composite. This hybrid material affords greater strength and rigidity for supporting DSLR cameras outfitted with heavier telephoto lenses. With a maximum height of 64.2" and a load capacity of 20 lb, the tripod still weighs in at only 3.4 lb.
The legs of the E630 feature quick-lever locks and a spiral-etched surface that makes their retraction and extension smoother and faster. For shooting on rough terrain, each leg hides a spike. This emerges by twisting and retracting the rubber foot, which itself is ideal for smooth, slippery surfaces.

Comments about Velbon GEO E630 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod:
I preferred lever-lock type by ease of use and before I bought this tripod,I compared this and manfrotto.
Velbon's leg lock lever is light touch than manfrotto. Of course, tripod is very steady and stabilized. And height is enough to me. Good cost performance.
