I'd love to... but it is not possible

Do you have one or used one before? It could be a waste of money and shipping cost to find out it isn't any good.

Take Care,
Cheers, Patrick

Patrick, I've never had one of their carbon fiber tripods, but I have owned one of their heavy-duty aluminum tripods for years and it has served me well. TeamSpeed posted a link yesterday about a different Amvona carbon fiber tripod (AT-CF94) for $75+shipping, so I placed my order for that one. I did do a lot of searching for reviews before placing my order and was pleased with what I read, so I took a chance. I guess I'll find out when I receive it whether I made a good decision, but, in my opinion, it's not that much dough to spend on a carbon fiber tripod, especially after reading that others are quite happy with it.

they sell excellent quality tripod . I owned the CF94 and A103

I'd be curious as to the size (diameter) of the smallest leg section...their specs conveniently leave out that info. I've handled an Amvona 4-section CF tripod before, and the smallest legs were literally pencil-thin, making the whole rig feel 'springy'.

the A103T that I had, they are probably same thickness as my Gitzo 2 series .

but compare side by side, Gitzo quality is better. but performance wise, probably same .

Gitzo center column adjustment is smoother, the leg probably 10-20% stronger .

but is Amvona one bad? definitely not, good deal , hell yeah!

Do Manfrotto heads fit these tripods?

it comes with 1/4 and reverse it , will be 3/8

it fits both ball head and camera mount

What's the warranty on it? That'll give you an idea as to whether you should put your money into something else. It is guaranteed to fail somehow after the warranty runs out.

I just looked at the specs - 4.9 pounds? My Manfrotto 3001BD aluminum legs are only 3.83 llbs. What gives?

Even the Chinese-made Benro's and Feisol's have a three year warranty. I don't know about this. I think you should apply the $60 to a Manfrotto or something else with a wider usage history. Also, if they're selling this at such a discount, I would bet that no one is buying it and they want to move it out of inventory.

I wondered about that myself...kinda defeats the purpose of paying for carbon fiber. My Gitzo 2540 with Markins M10 head weighs a full pound less than the Dynatran rig. Granted, the Dynatran is a lot cheaper, but when you're hiking for miles, every bit of weight that you can shed helps.

Yeah, that's a deal breaker for me. Surely not worth $60 if the legs alone are that heavy.
