Q: 4. The feisol 3472 is very light-weight compared to other similar tripods. Does that make it more fragile? I need a tripod sturdy enough for a canon 1dx with a 600 mm lens and a gimbal.

A: Carbon is not particularly fragile - more and more airplanes are made of fundamentally the same material ... For supporting the 600 mm lens, we recommend the CT-3372, which is the CT-3472's three leg-section sibling (the 3472 has four leg sections). Having fewer joints on the legs makes the CT-3372 even more stable. In fact, it is rock-solid with no vibrations whatsoever. The same is true for the CT-3472 up to 500 mm lenses.
