I find that the difference in weight between it and its metal counterparts is not great enough to justify the high price. Also, I am not too concerned about the vibration factor in metal tripods. I am sure that carbon fiber is superior to metal in that respect, but is the difference measured in inches or microns? At times we do take things to extremes. Were it not for the low price of my 1228, I would not have bought it. Joseph Codispoti
