Induro C-413
By Grover Larkins
Just got done putting the C-413 with the Benro/Induro B3 Ballhead through it's paces. Works quite well with a 500mm f4 ef-L and a 1DS Mark III on macro. Yes I have a Wimberley and I love that head but it is too large for Africa and Air Travel so I went with the BallHead -- 2.4 lbs lighter and much more compact.1) The tripod is certainly capable of supporting any lens made by Canon and Nikon with any camera attached to it. 26.4 lbs is a conservative weight rating and seems to be based primarily on the strength of the top Casting (spider). The legs are capable of being used as a jack stand to change tires (perhaps that is a stretch but they are really solid!)2) This is not a replacement for a Gitzo Interpro or series 3 tripod, it corresponds much more closely with my aging and beloved Gitzo 410 in strength and size -- both top out at over 70" and are 3 section leg construction. Overall length with the ball head is about 33" -- not compact, but who wants to mess around with 3 or 4 twist locks/leg and a spindly lower leg diameter?3) Weight is 6.4 lbs -- this compares with 11 lbs for the Gitzo 410 with a center column -- adding the ball head got me up to about 8 lbs. The Gitzo with the Wimberley model 1 is just a hair over 15 lbs!4) Center column is reversible if you unscrew the bottom cap etc.5) Legs unlock and lock within 1/3 (more like 1/4) of a turn and do not rotate.6) Center column locks down tight vertically but still has a bit of angular play -- this will tighten up over time as the plastic clamping sleeve compresses a bit and is not a worry.Given that this is more like a Gitzo 5 series CF Tripod than a 3 series one in terms of vibration resistance and is well below 1/2 the price I am very satisfied.Grover Larkins

By Mitch10
I got this tripod for use when I really need stability on night shots. It will be a few weeks before I will have a chance to fully test it, but based on the construction and weight I expect it to perform quite well. The tripod is solid and constructed well. Adjustments are easy to make with a simple turn of the cuffs on the legs, collar on the central column. There is a spring loaded hook at the bottom of the column for hanging a weight to increase stability. The tripod comes with a nice carrying case with adjustable/removable strap, inner pocket for accessories and with a cap for the mounting screw. The mounting screw is 1/4" and will not directly fit in a camera so you either need an adapter or head. I have a simple tilt/swivel Manfroto head that I will be using to stabilize my Canon 5d II. The feet are interchangeable so you can add spikes if you want to shoot in dirt vs. the smooth studio feet that the unit comes with. The unit weighs in at around 6 pounds, but that's quite light for a tripod this sturdy that can support 26+ lbs. I'm pretty sure that 26 is a fairly conservative estimate and this would undoubtedly hold a decent size telescope too. Overall, I think this is a very sturdy tripod that is well worth the street price though I consider the list price too high.

Heavyduty tripod
By Big Dawg
Purchased this tripod for expected daily use, however this is a heavy duty tripod best used with with large lenses which I don't have yet in my gear. This tripod can handle the largest lenses, however for a consumer user it is an overkill. I have since purchased a lighter version of this Induro.
