I am looking at buying a new tripod and head soon and I was wondering if anyone uses or has any opinions on the Swarovski CT101 carbon fibre tripod and FH101 head.
I would primarily use this for my Swarovski ATS80 HD scope (occasionally with my 40D + 400mm lens) and I like the fact that the scope's "foot" can fit straight on to the head without the need for a plate.
I've used one of the old Manfrotto/Swarovski tripods + head for several years and always found it to be very secure in how it holds the scope. Just wondering if the carbon fibre version is as good, how smooth the head is etc.
Warehouse Express is selling this combo for £429, which doesn't seem too bad for a decent carbon fibre tripod and head.
Thanks for any replies.
