>>3462976>Carbon fiber is kinda a memeI've been debating with myself already, yeah. I'm actually going to bring it outside a lot, so a little less weight should be nice, but the savings really aren't that amazing I guess.
Another thing that gets mentioned a lot is the CF sort of 'absorbing' vibrations better; I do some high-magnification macro, and while less vibrations would be nice for that, a sturdier, better tripod from metal might do just the same for the same price or less. But then again, I can't easily bring that anywhere outside because of the weight. However, if it's windy, the vibration-absorbing qualities of CF are fucking useless because the whole thing is light af and moves in the wind.
So wtf do I even buy lmao
