[1.73 lb] I wanted a 3 extension tripod with 10X carbon fiber legs.
Did not care about a center column. This unit is great. Lighter than
others that support 44 lbs. Well made.

[1.73 lb] I find a three section tripod to be the ideal, medium between compact folding dimensions and stiffness. This tripod is well-made and strong. My only complaints are that the neural grips are anodized aluminum and the tender bang into each other and that causes the finish to mar. Another thing that could be improved is that it's sometimes hard to tell when The legs are fully locked into place. As you turn the knobs, you do not get a progressive sense that the legs are locked in place.

[5] Beautifully made tripod. Quality through and through. I don't use a tripod often but spending a few dollars more for this quality is well worth it. I never heard of this brand before but after doing research it Was nothing but positive. Small and light but can carry a heavy load.

[Twist Lock] This has replaced my Manfrotto 190go C4T (very good) as the go to compact tripod while travelling. Excellent height (5-section) without a center column is ideal allows it to be very compact and still has plenty of stiffness when extended. Very light but still has the same quality as my FLM CP34-L5 II. For hikes, this is ideal, though I use it as the main pod if the wind conditions are not too bad. Use it with a large ballhead (FLM GX55) and the combination is still super light and compact.

[Carbon Fiber] Small and light but can carry a heavy load. My wife uses it with her D850 and it's rock solid. It's a bit short but for the weight and size, we have no complaints.

[5] This is a quality, well built tripod. Perfect height for 6’4” person. I recommend highly.

[Carbon Fiber] This tripod screams quality. I have it paired with the FLM CB-32F ball head. Perfect for my outdoor needs such as Nature, Landscape and Astrophotography.
I am 6'5 tall and was pulling my hair out trying find one tall enough. Finally I realized that I'm going to be sitting on my lightweight stool to wait for shots, and using a monopod when hiking. Why not save weight and $$$ by purchasing a shorter one?
Great customer service too from FLM Canada, the NA distributor.

[5] Terrific design and implementation, both in choice of materials and engineering.. My legs don't work so well anymore, so keeping my backpack light and compact is important for my landscape and wildlife work. However, there was a slight problem with mine, and almost sent it back to BHP. But they referred me to a very nice young man at FLM who solved the problem for me right quick. We had a bit of conversation back and forth by email, and I was impressed by the friendly and courteous response I got from them.
I also have tripods from Slik and Sirui, both of which are great products as well, but this one takes the cake.

[Carbon Fiber] It is exactly what I was looking for. It is taller than my eyes so I can adjust it to perfect height no matter what the terrain is like Folds down to fit on my backpack. Can handle any weight i need to put on it. It was $40 cheaper than a USED one on ebay. Was delivered lightening fast. Free 2 day delivery. I love free shipping. Double boxed with enough bubble wrap to keep Antique China safe during shipping. I take rating a product seriously and really think about it. Rating this order was very easy thought. B&H 5 Stars. FLM 5 Stars

[Carbon Fiber] Great little tripod-small enough to travel with but tall enough for everyday use. Highly recommended!
