They keep saying their made in Germany they're not saying where.
Solms or Wetzlar? 
In other words by Leica?
If not by who?
Because they're up against some stiff competition.
>From Gitzo for the most part.
The  Manfrotto brand even as they make a 900 dollar tripod which supports
26.5 lb. as well as making Gitzo's some of which cost into the thousands of
dollars and have long experience in tripod making behind it.
Its Who is making the Leica tripods not where of course.
Just a tad cheesy for my taste this Leica getting someone to make high end
tripods for them in Germany but no one knows who.
I doubt Leica could get into carbon fiber technology so I really don't think
its made in their neck of the woods.
