FLM CP30-S4 II Reviews

Lightweight Tripod Myth-Buster

By William
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-03-27

For years, operating under the mantra that "there's no such thing as a sturdy, lightweight tripod", I've carried a big Gitzo with a RRS BH-55 ball head around, taking mostly nature macro with some landscapes and wildlife. A great camera support system for sure, but I'm not getting any younger and was looking to lighten the load a bit. The FLM CP30-S4II is exactly what I was looking for! I really don't care how high the tripod can go, although I've used the FLM fully extended just fine. Being a macro photographer, I like how the legs can spread out to ground level like my old Gitzo. I've combined this tripod with a RRS BH-40 ball head and have been completely satisfied with the results. It easily handles my Z8 with a heavy 100-400mm lens beautifully. The weight reduction on hikes through the woods has been noticeable and greatly appreciated. (BTW, I don't think I saw the RRS BH-40 listed as a compatible head for this tripod, but it works really well with it!)

Disappointed

I liked the tripod for a couple of years, but over time, I started experiencing recurring issues with the legs getting stuck, making it difficult to extend or retract them occasionally. On a few occasions, this even caused me to miss shooting opportunities. When I reached out to customer service, they recommended using WD-40 for lubrication. I tried it, but it only made a slight improvement. I purchased mine in 2022, so I wonder if this issue is specific to that production batch. I’m not sure. For reference, I’m a very careful user and always take good care of my gear.

Is the cork appearing material on the tripod mount area easy to damage or dig into with a tripod head?
Asked by: John
The cork on the FLM CP30-S4 II 10X Carbon Fiber Series II Tripod provides a better grip for attaching a tripod head but it would not be recommended for repeated use of changing a head such as switching often from a ball head to a gimbal and back, It is best to only change the head as needed.
