Carbon fibre tripod recommendations

After much research on the internet and visiting shops to hold and have a feel of various Carbon Fiber tripods, I ended up buying the SIRUI N2204 with G20 ballhead. It was truly the best value for money at just under 300 US$ for both the tripod and the ball head with a 6 year warranty including a high quality bag, a short column for close up photography and a set of tools. The tripod and the ballhead really inspire trust and the manufacturing is of excellent quality.

I am sure that once they have increased their network of distributors, they will do very well.
