I am looking for a tripod that is a carbon fibre "Professional" sort, but not too expensive, I am not really looking to spend £100.

I would like it to have a fluid ish head, and legs that open out to allow me to have the camera/camcorder fairly low down.

Camlink do some reasonably priced products I have seen the Carbon 24 with 3 way pan/tilt head for £130 not sure there is anything else made of carbon fibre that will come close to your price point.

You may find some of the products in this review useful, but again the price point is too high. Carbon fiber models are generally quite pricey.

I'd not recommend buying a cheap tripod as it will inevitably disappoint over time. Maybe a gorillapod could be a good solution?

I recently had the same problem but discovered this tripod.

The tripod has very good reviews however I have not tried it.

not neccesarily carbon fibre, but a pro type of tripod.

you can get quite a lot of pro tripods for £100 but they are all very heavy. Do not reject the tripod because it is made by jessops. It is very strong and light.
