FLM CP38-L4 II Reviews

This is a monster!

By Michael
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-03-30

This was overkill for what I needed but it was cheaper and not much heavier. I could jump up and down on the tripod and it wouldn't budge. Super steady! I don't fly with this. I use it for road trips to Yellowstone... Spotting scopes and long lenses while view wildlife from afar. Good to video too!

Great Value

Combined with the levelling base, this is a pleasure to use. Super stiff, nice and tall, well made. Represents very good value compared to RRS or Gitzo.

What leveler is required for this tripod FLM CP38-L4 II, HB-75 or HB-100 ?
Asked by: Geoffrey
The HB-100 is a direct fit, no accessories needed. The HB-75 can be used, but you'd also need to get the 75-100 Adapter in order to use it on the CP38.

Asked by: John
FLM ball heads are made in Germany, but since 2019, FLM China has taken over tripod production. So FLM tripods are now made in China. Thank you

Will a Miller CX10, CX14, or CX18 work with the 100MM bowel on this CP38-L4? I imagine there would be nor issue...
Asked by: Timothy
They are compatible but I've had issues leveling 100mm bowl tripod heads on the 38. The distance from the center point out to the leg attachments it too short. This causes the tie down knob or handle to touch the leg joints thus limiting the ability to level the head.
