44-55 lbs is not too much for certain types of photography. Landscape photographers may hang 40 lbs of weight from the center post hook to add additional stability in windy conditions, especially when using telephoto lenses and/or slow shutter speeds.

@@ericrinehardt9373 My apologies, I think I have been clear enough, but that's what I meant. It's a tripod for particular photography with heavier parts: not for city photography, due exceptions apart. I would have made at least two different models, for different needs.

@@alessandroricci7294 This isn't the only model that the company makes. Any company that makes tripods isn't going to make just one model. You just happen to click on a video that the tripod is gear for landscape/wildlife photography.

The latest 32.5mm option does allow one leg removable for use as a monopod. The earlier 32mm Artcise AS80C is the same model as the 32mm Innorel RT80C and both models do not have the monopod option.

​@@Globetrotter-1 yes I know that, AS80C got bowl to adjust the camera, but CS80C should have monopod and on this video, if you look close is CS80C and this guy is saing that it hasn't have monopod... 🤔

@@dziadborowy84 The Innorel Technologies Co., Ltd and their Artcise R&D section produce all the same carbon tripods with different configurations, carbon wraps, diameters etc. Each are offered with or without heads, and varying accessories, such as flat base, bowl adapters in 65mm and 75mm, varying leg wraps and accessory holders. Some of the Artcise/Innorel 80C and 90C versions (CS/AS/RT) have fixed legs with no monopod option. The 8X wrap compared to the 10X wrap doesn't really mean higher quality because it all depends on thickness of carbon, their mixtures of other materials during manufacture and tolerances of the carbon sheets. One advantage of buying new late-stock Innorel 80C and new early-stock 80C Artcise models (both same tripod) is that they're often at rock-bottom prices.

I've heard complaints about the Innorel's leg locks ( when adjusting spread ) don't automatically pop back in place ( spring return ) ? Same with this model ?

@@p1pepper don't know because I bought Benro Tortoise 35C 😉
