Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The four-section carbon fiber legs and die-cast magnesium alloy components of this tripod combine to create a product that is lightweight and extremely strong. The lower section detaches to allow full low-angle tripod positioning. It is ideally suited for use with all 35mm SLRs and most medium- format cameras. The carbon fiber is an excellent vibration-absorbing material and is resistant to temperature changes.

This review is from: Velbon CARMAGNE 640 Carbon Fiber Professional Photographic/Video Tripod (Electronics)

This Hakuba carbon fiber tripod is a lightweight well-made item that provides good value for the price. However, it is NOT the Velbon CARMAGNE 640 advertised. The CARMAGNE is a carbon fiber tripod with a magnesium top - hence the name CAR (for carbon) MAGNE (for magnesium). The item offered is the cheaper version manufactured by Hakuba (which I believe is the parent company of Velbon) and has ALUMINUM components, not magnesium...
