Even though it is 37mm at the top tubes, it doesn't feel that bulky. The cusions are a great touch if you are carrying it on the shoulder. It is very light. Since it is 4 section you can get to a very high height. I normally only use three sections and I'm 2 meters tall. My old tripod is a old Gitzo Cremmieuie 3 (sp) that I bought in 1973. I'm familiar with carbon fiber strength and stability since my bike of 12 years is a carbon fiber one. The next size smaller tripods would probably be adequate enough for your medium format cameras, but I like over kill for my tripod and heads. 95% of my work is in the studio but on occasion I am asked to copy mural paintings for later printing. There are several threads here about the Feisol, just type in the name at the search and you will get a lot of good information. Even some of the old timers here are recent "converts".
