Should i choose Aluminum or carbin fiber? Manfrotto has a new tripod and it is aluminum but the features look great, would this be a good tripod or should i go for carbin fiber? I dont know the pros and cons between the two Material!
I was proposed tripod from GIOTTOS. I used and i'm verry satisfied. http://www.giottos.com/

GIOTTOS, made not only tripods. are made profesional accesories, cleaning systems and optical system ( filters )

In general - carbon fibre is lighter and stronger and more expensive than aluminum. I have no knowledge on the longevity between the two materials. Check the specs between the two units you like as to what weight of photo equipment they can effectivly support.
Eventually a ball head and light tripod will run out of usefullness to hold your photographic equipment rock steady when you start to put big cameras with big lenses on top of them - but you can't beat them for portability!

Whatever tripod you buy, you must check one thing very properly. You have to check the screws system, check if the screws are well fitted or already loose. If you see that the screws are easily being detached and the screws are not heavy enough, do not buy that. A lot of people complains about the fact that their tripod screws are not tight enough to stand.

It emphasizes the importance of checking the screws system when purchasing a tripod. It advises buyers to ensure that the screws are well-fitted and not loose, as loose screws can compromise the stability of the tripod.
