Adorama, B&H and perhaps others sell short (about 4") center columns for some Induro tripods.mborn, good feature. Can the center post be removed on some models? I will research that.

I love my Benro C/F tripod there in the same class of the Induro C/F tripods but not as expensive as Gitzo's. Carbon fiber pods.

I have the Induro CLT203 carbon fiber tripod with Induro BHL2S ball head. I have had two other tripods over the years and can honestly say that the Induro has far exceeded my other tripods. I have used this tripod and ball head combination on a least 25 occasions in all types of terrain and has never let me down. Induro and Benro tripods are made by the same company. I firmly believe Induro tripods and ball heads offer the best bang for a buck and are very well built and durable. My tripod came with a very well made carrying case and tool kit to change the rubber leg insert to metal spike insert. I use this tripod and ball head combo for hiking since I do mainly landscape shooting. The Induro tripod also comes with both a long center and short center riser. Finally, many professional photographers use the Induro tripod which I found on youtube.

My Induro CLT403 arrived a couple of days ago...I have it paired with a Sirui K40X ballhead. That combination is probably a way over-kill for my D7100 with Nikon 200-500...but I was determined not to have my tripod/ballhead be the weak part of my setup. My initial test was using live-view magnified at 500mm focused on various items over a block away on a fairly windy day...image was rock solid...only a split second movement when tapping on the legs or camera. Much better performance than doing the same test on my Manfrotto 3021BPRO.
I think I found the right combination for my style of shooting which varies from birds, fireworks, moons, landscapes, etc. without breaking the bank.

Forgot to mention...some reviews stated the very nice carrying case wasn't long enough to have the ballhead attached...Induro must have been paying attention...mine has room to spare with ballhead attached to the legs...a very nice surprise.

You are right I pack my tripod with the semi large ball head into my Induro carrying case and it fits with no worries.

Induro products purchased in the U.S. Get a 10 year warranty, FYI.

Thomas902, Thanks for the info. I may just make the big leap to a Gitzo tripod and the Wemberly WH-200.
For everything, check out Camera Cottage, owned by MT Shooter, a regular here on the Hog. He carries a line by the name of Nest, have heard nothing but praise for this brand... He may also have a Wimberley or two (used).

I have an Induro GIT 203 tripod that I use for landscape shots (11mm to 400mm). This model has no center post (none of mine do) so you can get really close to the ground if needbe. If I did not already have a gitzo that I use for wildlife (mostly 600mm lens) I would not hesitate to replace it with the Induro you asked about.

I searched in the "search" section for info on Induro tripods but found nothing specific to what info I need.
Have any Hoggers had any experience using an Induro tripod? More specifically, an Induro CLT404L Classic Series 4 Stealth Carbon Fiber Tripod.
Feedback is appreciated. Thanks

I use this tripod all the time for landscaping, wildlife and people. Best money I ever spent.

I have an old Induro C014 carbon fiber travel tripod that has been overseas at least 20 times. This is one of Induro's original lineup when they were introduced on the market. It hasn't been used very often, but has been carried around frequently and used in a variety of environments and circumstances. The only real annoyance is with the quick mount ball head: the plate doesn't have an orientation indicator so it takes extra fuss to lock it in. The legs have held up very well. It's light, strong stabile and sets up within 15 seconds. When this unit was issued, it cost about 25% of what the outlandishly-expensive Gitzo weekender cost. It continues to serve me well.
