Benro Travel Flat C0180T 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod
The Benro Travel Flat C0180T 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod is a solid support for a DSLR or point & shoot camera, with a maximum load capacity of 13.2 lb. The tripod features a two-section center column that can be removed for low-to-the-ground shooting: Simply attach the head directly to the 3/8"-16 screw of the magnesium-alloy chassis.
With the center column attached and extended, the tripod reaches a maximum height of 61.4". The non-rotating leg design ensures that you can set up the tripod quickly and easily at a moment's notice.
When it's time to fold up, the lightweight 8-layer carbon fiber legs of the 1.8 lb C0180T fold down flat – somewhat like three fingers on your hand – thanks to an innovative chassis design. The included custom carry case snugly fits the 17.3" folded tripod & center column, with room for a head (not included). For travelers and campers, this compactness can make all the difference.

Comments about Benro Travel Flat C0180T 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod:
The extreme low weight of this tripod will have you taking it to places where you used to wish you'd had a tripod. It is by far the lowest weight tripod you can find without going to a tabletop or pocket model.
I got this for camcorder and camera use. For DSLR or other digicam this is a fantastic unit that has plenty of rigidity and is easy to set up. With a light camcorder and a Manfrotto 700RC2 it has a slight amount of "panning backlash" when fully extended, but almost none if you close down the shortest legs.
A level on the tripod always helps: this one doesn't have a level but has 2 excellent flat spots for a stick-on bulls-eye level.
The leg angle when spread seems about average, but such a lightweight tripod would benefit from an option to spread the legs further. Hanging some weight will help for situations where you want the tripod to stay put for long scenes. As it is, you will tend to stay pretty much glued to your station while using your expensive camera on the tripod, as someone bumping into it may knock it over.
