Sirui Compact XS + ST-10X

Carbon tripods are generally significantly lighter than equivalent aluminum tripods. This is especially advantageous if you often travel on foot and need to carry many other pieces of equipment, such as in nature photography, where every gram saved is beneficial. However, carbon is not only lighter than aluminum; it also offers higher load capacity and better stiffness values. This makes carbon tripods ideal for professionals as well as ambitious hobby photographers.
