I use my approximately 13 lbs 8x10 on a Feisol 3372 carbon-fiber set of legs, and it works fine. The 3372 has a milled (not casted) crown at the top that's both convenient and strong. This CF tripod has very beefy legs -- 38mm diameter at the top. So, not the spindly toothpick legs one finds all but the most expensive Gitzo CF tripods.
One can get a center column with this tripod. But for 8x10, I would stick with the flat plate that comes with the tripod.
