Featuring 10-layer Carbon Fiber tubes, a CNC-milled apex and a revised leg angle lock design, the Series II is taller, lighter, stronger, more compact, utterly reliable, and comes with FLM's standard 10-year warranty.

Series II 4-section tripods fold down to 23 inches (the CP30-S4 folds down to 19 inches); the legs cannot be folded upwards on these models, which was a standard feature of the old tripods with center column. Series II tripods have improved leg grips, revised leg angle locks, and a new apex made of CNC-milled aluminum. This greatly increases the strength and durability compared to other tripods that use die-cast parts.
