(Of course, there are limits to what such a small and light tripod can do under such conditions regardless of material.) That led me to favor the CF version for $90 more.Cheap Sony Alpha SLT-A55V/L 16.2MP DSLR with Translucent Mirror Technology and 3D Sweep Panorama and 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 Lens with Sony SAL75300 Zoom Lens and SAL50F18 50mm Lens + Accessory Kit on sale. For longer exposures and/or windy conditions, this matters. CF has much better vibration damping characteristics, and the difference was really obvious. My concern with the aluminum version is vibration damping: the thin legs are very 'twangy', even without the smallest segments extended. The CF version is ridiculously light - it does almost feel like a toy - and, as you say, the weight difference isn't much.

If anything the aluminum feels nicer and inspires more confidence, imo. I've looked at this one in a shop and decided to go for the MUCH cheaper and only slightly heavier aluminum version. I haven't bought it yet, but I have played with it in the shop and plan on getting one before my next trip.

Full extended it's adequately high, though less stable collapse the last leg segment and column when stability matters more. If size is an absolute priority, this might be your best bet:ДЄt under 12' folded, it really is substantially smaller than most of the other 'traveller' options. Info on black and white digital printing at The Slik 704E is the smallest and lightest 3-way pan head I could find, and works very well (has a good quick release plate). They both come with very poor el-cheapo ball heads, so something else is needed. 2.1 lbs, not quite as tall, surprisingly sturdy.Д«oth of these are well designed, with independent leg angle locks. I used it on a 6-day trip to Yosemite last year and was very pleased with it.ДЇor something even lighter for longer hikes I also use this

The combo weighs 3 lbs and is a terrific tripod. Choose wisely!ДЄny thoughts on an EM5 + 12mm appropriate small light tripod?ДЄbout $40 each. Available on Amazon and B&H among others.Д¬reate the future or live someone else's. I really like using these, every detail is carefully thought out, and every part has a high quality feel :-). They make a variety of useful add-ons as well, see the website for details. Height range in Hiking staff/monopod mode 42.5' to 62.5' / 106.7 cm to 158.8 cm Height range in tripod mode 39' to 57.5' / 99 to 146 cm Very light, but very sturdy, ergonomic, and well builtД¬lever mag mount you can leave on your camera and mount on the pod in seconds when needed. Single device that covers monopod, tripod and hiking staff I especially like the Go for the way it packs very compactly, easily fits in carry on luggage in it's own soft case. Light weight and sturdy enough to be a true hiking staff, I've used these all over the world with smaller cams, would easily handle the OMD.

Use as a staff/monopod, then, if needed, spread the three feet to create a tripod. I've used MANY tripods over the years, but have now settled on TrekPods for m4/3rds and lighter gear, they are hybrid monopod/tripod/walking staff designs.

Plus it's so light that you will carry it everywhere.

While the ballhead is rated at 6 kg, the legs are rated at 2 kg, so it's not the most solid tripod in the world, but for an OM-D it's plenty. The final result is a tripod that goes from ground level to 53 inches tall but weighs just 810 grams (1,8 lbs), 845 grams (1,88 lbs) with the included carrying bag, which is just a cloth bag with drawstrings and a shoulder strap. The FLM CB-18 has a 1/4 thread so it's OK. I would like to point out that the tripod has a 1/4 thread for attaching the head. Yes you must give up quick release but it's worth it, imho. Then, for more weight saving you can replace the included ballhead with a FLM CB-18 (german stuff) and shave off another 40 grams. If you unscrew the center column to shorten it (it's a 2-piece column) you'll shave off 90 grams of weight - you are then left with a tripod that will still go up to 53 inches, and you can still invert the short center column left. The whole tripod with the included ballhead weighs 940 grams

The legs are from this tripod (Slik sprint PRO II) I have gone for a particular (and inexpensive) solution:
