Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Induro Carbonflex 8x Tripod CX-114Customer Review: Very satisfied! Summary: 5 Stars
I have this tripod for 9 months and have been very pleased with the quality so far. In answer to several reviews that I have read here, I have to tell you that the leg locking system is fine if you don't over tighten the legs. A half turn is all you need. I also have an Induro monopod and overtightened the locking mechanism. If you do they will always slip out of place. I am lucky to live 10 minutes from their headquarters in Elmsford, NY. I took the monopod there and they changed the gaskets in ten minutes and explained that only a little pressure is all that is needed to lock the legs. I have not had any trouble with the tripod legs, same system, and have found the tripod to be sturdy and versatile because of the horizontal bar, which can be useful under certain conditions. The second issue which some reviewers commented on was the fact that the bag is too small for the tripod and the head combined. I also was bummed out about this, because I bought a Manfrotto 498RC2 ballhead and I had to remove the ballhead to put the unit in the bag. So I called customer relations at Induro and complained. They were extremely nice to me every time I had a problem. I spoke to Jeff and he said they had a new, bigger bag that he would send me free of charge. I have it and the new bag is perfect! Tripod and ballhead fit quite comfortably, so I'm a happy camper. I can't tell you if they are sending the new bag with the tripod now, but it is available, so that shouldn't be an issue. Overall, I am very happy with this tripod and can recommend it highly.
