Thanks for calling us the gold standard

The following changes were made to the FLM Series II CP26-Travel tripod in order to improve its stability while not making it too light or flimsy:
  • no center post
  • legs cannot fold backward
  • milled apex
  • last 2 leg sections at the bottom are thicker than before
  • re-designed leg angle locks
  • 10x carbon fiber
  • re-designed rubber feet for better balance at all leg angles (with standard 3/8" mount)


There is also a new CP30-M5 Hybrid tripod coming out next month that I hope will hit a sweet spot for better-than-travel-tripod-stability and portability.

I hope that helps.
