The Velbon GEO E640 4-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 61.1" and a load capacity of 20 lb, the tripod still weighs in at only 3.4 lb.
The legs of the E640 feature quick-lever locks and a spiral-etched surface that makes their retraction and extension smoother and faster. The legs fold down to only 17.7", so the tripod fits easily into a carry-on bag for convenient transport.
For shooting on rough terrain, each leg hides a spike. This emerges by twisting and retracting the rubber foot, which is ideal for smooth, slippery surfaces.

Comments about Velbon GEO E640 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod:
Extremly light to carry, but very solid. I shoot with a Wimberley MH-200 Head, Nikon D-300, and a 70-200mm f2.8 Lens and the tripod is ROCK solid.
I prefer the flip locks to the twist, and this is the perfect Tripod for me.
