Don't fear the 5-section tripod! The Hybrid can handle all your assignments, with the same stability as any of our CP30-size tripods. Use it for long exposure, infrared or astrophotography without fear of blurry images.

Bonus: It will also fit into your airline carry-on.

The 10x carbon fiber CP30-M5 Hybrid Series II Tripod from FLM is a 5-section support using 30mm carbon tubes. It has a twist leg lock system that you can open and close with a half turn. With the locks disengaged, it allows you to extend the legs to a maximum height of 59.25". With its variable leg angles, you can splay the legs completely out to have a minimum height of 3", so you are able to shoot very close to the ground for macro photography. When not in use, this 2.97 lb tripod, with a load capacity of 44 lbs, folds to a length of 18.8", making it easy for travel or storage. The rubber feet are removable and can be replaced with the included spiked feet for icy or unstable terrain.
