So the 65" aluminum version is 5lbs and $34.68, and this 62" carbon fiber version is 4.75lbs and $36.11.
Makes no sense to get the carbon fiber version from what I can see as the tripod head is the same.
Canceled order.

I have a T7i with stock lens and I dont hang anything on my tripod so no reason for me to look at a $300 tripod. The only downside of a cheap tripod has been some part breaks after a 2-4 years. But if u have money to burn sure get the highest end u can find and hope nothing breaks on it for 10+ years using it outdoors.
Considering people paid and kept this for over $100 price point, withrrfee returns I might check this out anyways, no risk unless someone said this collapsed on them while using it.

Here's why:
- If shooting long exposures, night shots, anything requiring multiple frames (like HDRs), there's a world of difference in the image quality you can achieve using a tripod that wobbles with a slight wind gust vs a sturdy piece of equipment. If you don't care about that difference then just use your camera phone.
- Many $300+ tripods are far easier to transport. This becomes apparent when you're constantly moving and shooting or trying to fit you tripod in with carry on luggage.
- Quality tripods have more versatile heads with nifty quick-releases that don't inadvertently adjust when attaching the camera.
- If you're outdoors and attempting to shoot something that requires more adjustments to the tripod legs, head and other parts to get the correct angle, a cheaper tripod is very limiting here. Many will easily tip over if or are simply incapable of staying locked in a lot of configurations.
And yes, plenty of parts break on cheap tripods requiring replacement of the whole tripod instead of just a component of the tripod since all parts are sold as one unit. Even if it falls over and the camera breaks, you're out $500 at least. If you replace the camera, you'll probably spend more money for a quality tripod.

All legit points .... but in my 10 years of shooting videos mostly for recreation, sports and instructional videos, never spent over $45 and never had any of the issues you mentioned above, never even close to having it tip over or dropping something, and it gets very windy here, esp in the winter. Two times it did get way too windy I simply attached a weight to the bottom of the tripod center shaft hook and it was all good to go. Then again I did research and got good value, not like I got a $10 tripod and paid $50 for it... so if all your above applies to someone great.... but again I dont think paying $300 for a tripod guarantees that all the parts will be working in 2 years anyways unless you take meticulous care of it so I dont think even that is an issue. I rather use that money to get another extra battery and SD cards.

Canceled order.
The listing is incorrect.
Quality is outstanding for $35.

Good to know if I need one in the future and it's on sale again. I have too many tripods including a carbon fiber one, so really didn't need another one. But being on SD, you know how we end up buying more than we need, so I am glad I ended up cancelling the order. Haha
