  Hi,

  I am looking to get a new set of tripod legs to replace my 190ProB legs.
  I am looking to send around $300 in either B&H or Adorama and I would like to go for carbon fibre to reduce the weigh of my gear.
  My current setup weighs 5lbs, so I’d like the tripod to support at least 10lbs, preferably 15lbs
  I am currently looking at Velbon EL Carmagne 640A Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs which weighs 3.2lbs, has a capacity of 13lbs and folds to 17.7 inches
  Is there other options I should be looking at for around $300?

  Thanks
  Darragh

  The Manfrotto 190CX3 has me interested lately…
