I was in need of another tripod and after a long and painful search through every manufacturer I finally settled on the Leofoto LX-324CT. I really wanted to go with a Carbon fiber tripod and the amount one could spend on some of these is too much for my budget. I finally settled on this one and I could not be happier. I am completely satisfied with my purchase, and very glad I went with the Carbon fiber choice. As a real estate photographer on the side this is a very smooth and quick tripod to operate. In our very cold Wisconsin Winters this has been a game changer for me. My hands don't freeze when holding the Carbon fiber. It just doesn't get cold like Aluminum.
If you are looking for a great all around Carbon fiber tripod with this kind of height and functionality I could recommend this with no problems.
