Smooth moving and excellent tripod; very well built. We love how smooth the head moves - just set the vertical and horizontal tension wheels for the amount of ease you want the head to move in both directions. Includes soft case.
This model is extra tall for comfortable use higher off the ground.
Why purchase carbon fiber? Two potential reasons: carbon is lighter weight than aluminum and carbon will dampen down more quickly if your tripod and spotter get hit by a wind gust.
