Quote:I have the Gitzo G1157 which I bought new for 200€ because it is an old model.
It weighs 1.06kg vs 1.28kg for the FLM-Travel. That's about 20% lighter.
Not all Gitzos are expensive.
The G1157 is not a travel tripod. It's nice that you got it cheap as an EOL tripod but I compared the prices of travel tripods that are not EOL and newer.
You have a 6 layer CF, 3 segment tripod and the FLM is a 10 layer, 5 segment tripod. Even the RRS tripod I used is a 4 segment tripod might not work on some airplanes as a carry on.
You have to compare apples to apples. The FLM travel will probably be discounted when it reaches it's EOL.
P.S. - One day left for those that might be interested.
