The Times Online votes the CT-3441SB as "one of the best high-end options" in their Six of the best tripods for travellers review - 14th Oct 2009

The CT-3441SB is a revised 4 section traveller carbon fibre tripod which inherits the superior specifications of our tournament grade tripods.

Metal components are CNC machined from solid blocks of aircraft grade alloy which together with high grade carbon fibre tubes provides an extremely light, rigid and strong tripod.

The CT-3441SB has a maximum leg tube diameter of 28mm and is extremely stable. Load capacity is rated at 10kg and this will easily support a large consumer video camera or dSLR with medium telephoto lens attached e.g. 300 f/4 or 70-200 f/2.8.

However, due to high load leverage associated with mounting and using large long prime lenses, we do not recommend this product for super telephoto use e.g. 400 f/2.8, 500 f/4 or 600 f/4. 

An angle lock between tripod base and legs provides quick adjust of the leg angle from 25/75/90 degrees through lever operation. The legs can also be flipped 180 degree upwards around the center column and ball head (included), achieving  its 43 cm folded length.

Note: The CT-3441SB tripod is supplied with its legs folded around a partially extended centre column for compactness.
Prior to use, the tripod legs should be flipped 180 degrees, so that the levers lock and support the legs correctly. Failure to do this will result in an unstable platform.

This high quality and well engineered tripod is ideal for those looking for the ultimate affordable, sturdy and portable photographic platform.

Specifications: 

The CT-3441SB can be used in combination with various optional accessories e.g. a ball head and a choice of tripod spikes.

Note: The CT-3441SB includes a CB-30C ball head, a QP-144750 quick release plate, a tailored tripod bag, foam leg covers and Allen key set as standard.
