Hello All :
I have selected the MeFoto GlobeTrotter Tripod as my WalkAround and Travel Tripod, but am unable to decide between the Aluminium and the Carbon Fiber version -
All the specs are the same except the weight :
Aluminium = 4.6 lbs OR 2.08 Kgs
Carbon Fiber = 3.7 lbs OR 1.67 Kgs
Differnce in weight between the two = 0.9 lbs ( 14.4 Oz ) OR 0.41 Kgs ( 410 grams )
The differnce in price between the two is US$ 160
So what I wish to learn from the experices you fine peole have is if the differene in the mentioend weight will really make differnce when walking all day with the tripod. Of course, I will have my camera grar too with me, Body w/ Battry Grip + 3 Prime f1/4 lenses.
I could spend that extra amount money wise, but my questioin is will the difference of 0.9 lbs OR 410 grams really make a diffeence.
Do kindly provide me with your insights.
Jai
