The carbon fiber used by Sachtler to produce its tripods is particularly twist resistant, because it is drawn out of one piece. Carbon fiber is lighter than dural aluminium and ensures maximum stability and carrying capacity. The standard carbon fiber tripods CF 100 L and CF 100 M both have tube diameters of 16 mm / 0.63in, while the HD version CF 100 HD has a tube diameter of 22 mm / 0.87in for a maximum load of 90 kg / 198 lb. All models in the line feature the Sachtler rotary clamping system. Carbon fiber tripods are extremely lightweight and highly stable at the same time.
