Comments about Velbon Tripod El Carmagne Carbon Fiber 540:
Right now am using it for school mostly but also use it for wildlife photography, still photos, and potraits. It is excellant for trekking up threw the woods and setting up for wildlife photography. It isn't heavy or cumbersome. You don't need to make special trips back to the car just for your tripod. Best buy recently accessory wise.

Comments about Velbon Tripod El Carmagne Carbon Fiber 540:
Very light, yet extremely strong. Able to hold my D200 with 70-200 f2.8 without any movement for multi exposures. Weight bag convenient for uneven terrain. Only downside is having to unscrew the vertical handle from the horizontal handle to store. Would recommend for anyone with Heavy equipment.
