Looking at a carbon fiber Benro, model C0580F, with a BH0 Ball head (used). My current tripod is an older but good Sherpa. I'm wondering how stable or vibration resistant the Benro is? Is CF better for stability/VR, or is the main benefit to CF the weight?
Thanks.

Well it's light but the good thing is it has 4 leg sections and not 5, so it might be reasonably stable for it's size. Carbon fiber is considered to be better at dealing with vibration than aluminum so that's a consideration if it's to be used outdoors.

Benro are pretty good at keeping the weight of their aluminum tripods down, the CF version of this tripod weighs 2.1 lbs and the aluminum version weighs 2.6 lbs. This seems to be a discontinued model as it doesn't appear on Benro's Chinese web site, although it was there previously.
