Great Tripod!!!
This Tripod by Article is a great tripod not to mention the fact that it is under $200.00. I shoot with a full frame Nikon D850, and all of my lenses are f/2.8 or bigger, so I am putting a lot of weight on my tripod. Before this tripod, I was using a little aluminum tripod, that was very compact, and light weight, with a center column. I found that if it was a little windy (or basically just a slight breeze), I would get all kinds of vibration, not to mention, if the center column was all the way up, with the legs extended all of the way, I still had to bend over to see through my viewfinder (and when I did, everything was shaking) This Artcise tripod is an 8 layer Carbon Fiber tripod that can extend so much longer than other tripods in this class. I am 6 feet tall, and I don't have to extend the bottom legs out all the way to set up my camera without bending over (see first picture). The tripod itself is pretty sturdy, and has held up pretty well in windy conditions....with gusty winds, I did notice a little vibration (with a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens on my camera) but a lot less than my little aluminum tripod. The knobs on the legs that tighten and loosen to extend or retract the legs are beefy enough to get a good grip on them, but not so big as to be overkill. Set up, and tear down is very easy and quick (I used a sharpie on the bottom legs to make a mark to know how far out the legs had to extend to be the right height for me). The legs can splay out pretty far so you can get those low perspective shots (pictures 3 and 4). I have not used all the gadgets that came with the tripod, but, they seem well made, and I am sure they will come in handy one of these days. I have used this tripod for about a month now, because I wanted to use it a few times before I wrote up a review on it, and it has worked almost flawlessly. Another great thing about this tripod is Artcise. Their service department was outstanding. I purchased this tripod during the pandemic, when all of the shipping was so slow, and I was emailing the company to see where my order was. They were always quick to reply, very courteous, and helpful. They really did a great job to help me get my purchase as soon as possible.
The Cons: This tripod is not a small compact tripod. With the ball head (my ball head can support 44 pounds) I have, it is almost 5 pounds. Also, with my ball head attached, it is almost 27 inches tall (as you can see my best solution to carry this tripod was to attach it to a Vanguard Alta Sky 49 backpack). If you do a lot of backpacking where every extra ounce counts, or, you just need something to support your iPhone...this is probably not the tripod for you. But, if you shoot wildlife and you don't have to hike 20 miles into the back country, and you need something to support your big lenses, this should work for you. Or, if you are shooting landscapes or flowers, and you need something relatively sturdy, this tripod should work for you also. Another thing that I don't like on this tripod is the tightening knob on the bottom of the base, it kind of gets in the way sometimes...be careful when closing the legs on the tripod as to not pinch your fingers between the legs, and that knob that sticks down. It would be nice if they made a plate that could attach without the knob sticking down. If you are doing video, and you have a leveling plate, I can see how this knob would help.
So, in conclusion, I really think that this is a very good tripod. The price is great compared to other Carbon fiber tripods. It extends out pretty tall (which is helpful if you are not on level ground). Just the style of this tripod makes it so much sturdier that the tripods with a center column. Yes, it is a little heavier, and bulkier than those little tiny compact tripods, but it really supports your equipment so much better. The legs are very easy to open, adjust, and close (the knobs are around a quarter to a half turn to lock and unlock). Yes, that little knob, at the bottom of the base, gets in the way, but in truth, it only took me one time so far to pinch my fingers, and remember no to do that again. LOL So, if you are looking for a reasonably priced carbon fiber tripod that works extremely well...Check out the Artcise, I think that you will like it.

WOW! This tripod is incredible!
I was in the market for a new, lighter and taller tripod. I've been lugging around a heavy aluminum Manfortto tripod for years and have always wanted to make the switch to carbon fiber. So I went searching for an affordable, yet well built carbon fiber tripod and stumbled upon the INNOREL RT-80C. Once received, I couldn't believe this tripod was only $190. The build quality felt like one that'd cost $1,000 or more. The legs feel strong, the tightening mechanisms feel well built and secure. It's lightweight and folds up fairly small. My now old Manfortto tripod only reached a height of about 5 feet with the column down. This tripod is a monster. I'm 6'3" and it's just about to tower over me. This is all what I wanted in a tripod and I got it. A+ to the Innorel team!

Very sturdy and lightweight
I was specifically looking for something to use with my skywatcher that was heavy duty and finally found it, the skywatcher with counterbalance weight feels incredibly sturdy.on this tripod, I was a little skeptical on how light weight was but the construction feels solid and the fact it comes with spikes for the ground for extra stability is great.

Amazing features. quality and price
When I first opened the box I thought they had shipped the heavier (and more expensive) RT-90C. This unit is solid and the build quality is excellent. I purchased this for landscape, wildlife and action shooting and I believe it will become a great tool for me. Tripods of this size and stability without a center column are much more costly, especially with the half bowl leveling feature. I added a leveling adapter to my older Alta tripod and that worked by added weight and was not as easy to use as the INNOREL setup. When I plugged the specs on the RT-80C into my spreadsheet comparing all the major brands it came out the tallest and lightest of all without the center column. Needless to say I am very pleased with this addition to my gear and look forward to getting out in the field with it.

Whistling Wonder
I’m an avid outdoorsman/hiker and amateur landscape photographer who has been using a carbon fiber travel tripod from Giottos for about 2 years. Good tripod but I wanted something a bit beefier, sturdy, yet still somewhat ok to hike with...also something that looked a bit more “pro”. One issue I had with the Giottos was the center column and the ability to get ultra low if I needed so that was also a consideration. However all the “pro” type carbon fiber tripods from PMG, RRS, Robus, Feisol, or Leofoto are ridiculously expensive and a bit heavy to hand carry miles while hiking. I thought I’d give this a try as the weight was good, the short center handle was handy, and it had a few 5 star reviews. Price was spot on as well. Arrived quick and packed nicely. Had a quality feel to it. Yes it’s a Chinese product but US made are 5 times the cost. I’ve used it for roughly a month and haven’t had a single issue with functionality. Sturdy and light enough to hike with. I’m currently using a Canon EOS R with the 15-35 & the 24-105. My biggest issue with the tripod is that when collapsing the legs, there is a whistling sound from the top of the legs. Quite annoying. I will upload a video showing the whistle sounds. Does this offset the cost saving over the competition? Nope. I’ll take whistling over spending $200-700 more any day.
The center column leveling feature is nice but I’m not using it as much although it is easier to get it level for panoramas. Overall I’m happy with the price for product and features. I’d definitely buy this again. Time will tell if it holds up but so far so good.

Perfect Travel Tripod
I was looking for a travel tripod and this Innorel RT-80C fit the bill perfectly. I give it 5 stars for what I wanted. I have larger and heavier tripods that I love, but they are too big for air travel and much too heavy to lug around. I have an upcoming trip by air and wanted to take a tripod, but my other travel pods always left me wanting for support and stability. I started searching and found this Innorel RT-80C. It has a similar design to my beloved Gitzo, but is scaled down a bit. So I went for it. My impressions are beyond my expectations. The build, fit and finish are fantastic. Much better than I expected. My RSS ball head fit perfectly. I mounted my Nikon D2X and a Nikon 70-200 f2.8 zoom with a 1.7X teleconvertor and the Innorel RT-80C handled it almost a good as my Gitzo. A heavy camera and lens always bounce a bit while setting up, but this tripod damped the camera quickly when I released the camera. This is perfect for my travel needs. Thank you Innorel.

Great Tripod
Solid as a rock. It can handle my gimbal head, heavy 500mm lens and D750 camera body with ease. Note it extends very high. The photos are with the nail/spike leg tips which add another inch or so. Background car is for scale. For shooting, I only need to extend the lower legs a few inches.
Note that the tools and nail leg ends are well hidden in an inside zipper pocket.

Stability, Light Weight, height, and Easily adjusted.
I've owned a few tripods during the past several years and they were okay, but only okay.
This Carbon Fiber Bowl Tripod, AS80C Heavy Duty Camera Tripod is everything they advertise it to be. It is light, mobile, easily adjusted, and extremely sturdy. I am 6 ft. tall and have always had to bend to uncomfortable postures while using past tripods. This one adjusts to 63 inches high or more depending on the leg spread, and with my Gimble head mount I have to lower it in order to use the camera viewfinder without standing on tiptoe or using a stepstool. I love this tripod.
It is very well constructed and I cannot find any flaws to mention. This tripod is everything I've always needed and I wish I had purchased this long ago. When I find I need an additional tripod I will purchase another one of these.

Perfect trade offs for mirrorless setup!
Although this is roughly a pound heavier than most “travel” tripods, that pound translates to some impressive performance and extra stability. For me it means I can have one tripod for all my intended use, minimizing extra expense and gear. Love how this includes leveling cup system and as someone who is 6’1” tall, goes very high without any center column, meaning that you have great stability at any reasonable height. It’s a perfect platform for the hybrid shooter - video and photo. And it gets fairly compact at around 20” folded up. Also, I was worried about twist lock legs but really like how these open and close with a small turn - super convenient. I expect this tripod will serve all my needs for many years to come and do it with tremendous value.

Very good budget option
After going through multiple higher priced tripods over the years, I got sick of paying 4-500 for tripods that only lasted a year or two before breaking. Admittedly I don’t baby my gear while out shooting landscapes, but after my expensive induro tripod broke recently I decided to look into cheaper options. For under $200, this tripod is amazing- I honestly prefer it to the more expensive tripods I’ve owned. Super solid legs, the 65mm bowl is great for quickly leveling before doing panoramas, and the ballhead I grabbed (same company) is great. I’ve recommended this setup to a number of landscape photographer friends who were in the market for a new tripod.
