Carbon Fibre vs Aluminium?
Carbon Fibre has a tensile strength of approximately 3.8 times that of Aluminium. Carbon Fibre has a higher resistance to corrosion and scratches. The increased weight of an Aluminium tripod makes them more stable, and they often cost less than their Carbon Fibre counterparts.
