The FLM CP30-S4 II 10X Carbon Fiber Series II Tripod is the perfect mix between weight, height and capacity for professionals looking to reach the perfect spot. It features an easy to use 4-section support with a twist leg system. Meaning that with a simple turn, you can get the tripod set up to the right height in a matter of seconds.

Its Carbon Fiber and Aluminum build gives it a load capacity of 44 lbs. to support you camera, while still allowing you to carry it anywhere.
The Cp30-S4 II weighs in at only 2.89 lbs. and folds down to 18.9" for easy travel and storage. Like all of FLM's tripods the CP30-L4 II is designed to get you the perfect shot with feet that feature removal rubber and spikes.

I'm a little short at 5'7" so this tripod suits me perfectly. It is completely stable at any extention. Great product. I recommend.

My initial reaction after opening the box is the build quality seems good, weight feels good, the folded down size is great, smooth twist locks and smooth sliding legs, goes real low to the ground (which I like). The height is just right for me with the ball head I use. (I'm about 5' 11”) I'm looking forward to using it out in the field where it matters most. Good first impression though. (This is after falling down the rabbit hole of tripod research after not buying one in 25+ years. Mine finally gave out.) Also, Jason, the USA rep, was quite helpful answering my email questions and concerns.

All tripods are a compromise between portability, weight capacity, stability and price. To me, FLM tripods strike a near optimal balance between these factors. I recently added the CP30-S4 to the CP34-L4, which I had purchased a couple of years ago. The tripods are well made and durable. I like the metal leg locks and the design of the leg angle adjustments. Also, it is easy to mount spikes, which I find essential for stability. A couple of negatives I noticed: 1) It's easy to pinch your fingers on the leg angle links (I still have a blood blister as proof) 2) The leg locks seem to trap more sand than I've seen with other tripods and with the grip guides left in place they are difficult to clean.

Fit-form-function: The all over diameter is not changing much when folded, which I like. The tripod is very well made and sturdy, yet very light. The only negative critique I have concerns the tripod leg locks which have no rubber grips. This could be a problem in cold areas when wearing gloves due to lack of grip.
