Benro carbon fiber tripod? Any good?

[investmenttechnology]

Is this Chinese brand any good? From what I read on the net so far, the general consensus is that they are as good as Gitzo for much much less.

well, Gitzo is considered a gold standard so if so it will be a bargin

I am using a Benro carbon fiber monopod,with a 70-200mm vr tele lens. Rock solid , will probably buy the Benro tripod this winter

Does anyone know the difference between the c3570t and c-357 m8?
