Travel tripods: 5 carbon fiber kits reviewed
1 Travel tripods: 5 carbon-fiber kits reviewed
|2 Next
|The carbon fiber group, from left to right: Feisol CT3441SB, 3 Legged Thing Eddie, MeFoto GlobeTrotter, Sirui ET-1204, Gitzo Series 1 Traveler.
It is frequently said that 'the best camera is the one you have with you,' and when a stable platform for that camera is required, the same could be said for tripods. Some leg sets are so large and heavy that they tend to live in the back of a closet or trunk of a car, despite the best intentions. Others are so small and fragile that using them requires bodily contortions, while a light wind could blow them over, sending your gear crashing down.
In this group review, we're comparing five tripod kits that are designed to be as compact and light as possible, while still remaining stable and comfortable platforms for photography. While this means they are marketed as travel tripods, each kit is naturally well suited to support lighter cameras and lenses for everyday use, no matter if the location is home or away.
Every tripod in this group has carbon fiber leg tubes, although many are available with aluminum legs at a lower price. Next, each kit had to meet some basic requirements to be included in the group of 'travel' tripods: their legs should fold up 180° around the center column and ball head; when folded they should be less than 17 inches (43cm) long to fit inside luggage and camera bags; and each should fully extend to at least 4.5 feet (137cm) for a more comfortable working height. Finally, all are sold and reviewed as complete kits, with a ball head designed for the tripod legs.

I'll only comment on Sirui. I have their T-025X. The quick release platform that sits on top of the ball head is held in place by a non-removable screw. Thread glue plus one deformed thread in the middle of the bolt.
If you take it off anyway (need a high grade steel allen wrench, a good vise and strong hands as the ball head clamp can't hold no matter how tight) you will find lug mounts different (incompatible) and chamfers on the bolt different than on Sirui's MP-20 QR platform.
Having different mating surfaces for the same tripod components from the same manufacturer is total BS. My last Sirui product. I'd suggest anyone out there who tends to hold onto tripods for a long time or, as I do, using them in the wild where parts can get banged up at times, steer clear of Sirui.
Portable Carbon Tripod Monopod Kit & Ball Head Compact Travel for DSRL
I have 2 Canon 6 D, largest lense Canon 70-200 2.8 IS 11. I am beginner and would like to purchase Tripod CF, I will not be hikimg with it, may add extra weight in future. Do not want to spend hugh money. Like idea of ball and joy stick type. Mainly Bird and landscape.
75cm Canvas Tripod Bag (Desert Yellow)
I dont understand the noise about some of these big names And their big prices. I have a trioppo carbon fibre - a copy of the gitzo i think at a fraction of the cost. I also have an aluminium 4 leg section cheap about the same weight.
A weighted bag is necessary with all of them regardless of price In terms of stability? Unless you get something like my old Linhof.
Funny... I bought a Promaster that has almost the exact same specs (The Promaster is 14" Folded, sans-head and a pound lighter sans-head AND has a round level...oooohhh aaaahhh) as the MeFoto GlobeTrotter that costs about $100 less... that gives you room for a nice head of your choice, with the potential to stay well under their $370 price tag...
I ended up buying it on sale with a Gimbal head, and got it for $300... had it not been on sale the whole package would have been only $450...
the 'proper' brand will get you every time....
My knock off all carbon-fiber tripod was $169 from China, the name brand ones were $375-$525 with the exact same features and ball head... It required a spritz of lube after a couple years, but that wasn't a very big deal.
Tripods have best application for photography. I like also photography. It works as a micro camera. I like this article.Here are best camera tripods from http://thetop16.com/2014/08/camera-tripods/
I have the Gitzo and it is light and easy to use. The lack of carrying case seemed odd but in the long run I bought a case from a company that specialized in cases/bags. I had a benro tripod and their bag was a nuisance.
Here is one site for REALLY SERIOUS photographers who NEED the BEST tripod for their work.
you be the judge if the price is justified.
I bought a tripod in this general class a few years ago and I fell in with the conventional wisdom that 'you want a ball head' I soon found that I didn't. I found it quite hard to find an Arca Swiss compatible Pan and tilt head. why on earth do so many of the manufacturers make ball heads with Arca quick release and pan and tilt heads with their own proprietary quick release? I ended up with a Giottos Mini Video Head but it wasn't easy
Since we are too lazy to compare the vibration charts ourselves - do you find the CF tripods better than the aluminum ones in that respect?
Yes, and a heavy wooden tripod is even better!
I have an older Feisol 3441 and CB-30 ballhead. The rubber feet always come out so I do without them. Dirt and water gets in and a section has become very hard to pull out (a bit of cleaning on my part would help though). One leg has come unglued after a couple of years. I've lost two knobs in the wilderness (screws aren't captive) but miraculously found one back otherwise the tripod would have been useless. The legs won't "close" in a reverse position with the short column because the ballhead gets in the way. It's a piece of crap.
I recently purchased a travel bag, although it must be checked, which will hold my normal tripod. No longer interested in so-called "travel tripods" which to me will always have some compromise.
Can you remove the center column of the Feisol? I own an older 3401 model, and use it most of the time with the center column left at home - much easier for travel, and more stable.
BTW, after many years of use and abuse - no problems.
"Considering the clothing choices of some photographers, a blue aluminum cylinder may be the least of offenses in the natural world". Set up, it would appear! ;-)
I wasn't going on the offense, btw...
You have to admit, wearing that All Blacks beanie is rather risky. It could scare away the Canadians! ;)
No mention made of Feisol's ridiculous rubber feet. They come off at the first use and unless you are very careful are immediately lost. Despite having threaded ends, no thought is given to providing threaded rubber feet. Nor does the distributor seem to think it is a problem.
My favourite "rig" for travelling light and for hiking is the Promaster 525t. If you can get this brand in the area you live, do consider it as well (in Canada it is sold through Photo Source). Combined with an older Manfrotto 486 ball head and a Cullmann quick release plate, specs are as follows:
Weight 1.4 kg (just over 3lb)
Lowest height with center column removed 22cm (9")
Extended without center column, 127cm (51") incl. ball head and q.release
Extended with center column raised 147cm (59")
Folded 45cm (18")
This carbon fibre model has five sections but is easy and fast to set up. Included are a bubble level, insulation on one leg, hook on center column to add weight.
Have used it for two years and no issues whatsoever.
If weight is an issue but I need more height, I use the 3 section Promaster T325P which is still ideal for travel and also very light but, with ball head, extends to 170cm max (68") with center column raised.
In greater Cleveland, Ohio where I live, Dodd Camera caries Promaster tripods, ball heads, quick release mounting plates, speed lights and other accessories. Promaster products are made by various manufacturers in China. Some are very good, some are very bad.
I noticed that the Sirui ET-1204 is .7lbs lighter than the competition; good thing or bad thing who knows. But... I think the comparison would make more sense if they had used a set of legs that was comparable in weight; like the ET-2204 which is still .1 lbs lighter than the competition. The height is 3" taller which addresses the "not tall enough" complaint. More weight, more height, more options... you get the idea. Apples to Apples.
Under "Reversing the column?", it's worthwhile to note that MOST cameras now are nearly as easy to use upside-down as they are in a more normal orientation, although it might take some getting used to. Also, plenty of cameras (e.g., all my Sonys after the A100) have LCDs that can pivot enough to be easily used. The only problems I've seen are that some cameras will record movies upside-down if the camera is and bouncing a built-in flash off the ground isn't as effective as off the ceiling. ;-)
The biggest problem I've had with flipping a column is that it isn't always the quickest thing to do, requiring some disassembly. Then again, I don't have a very good tripod.... how quick and easy is it with these?
I find it disheartening that Giottos is never considered in their reviews. Probably because they are too much of a challenge for any of those reviewed. The Giottos VGR8265-M2N will give any of these a run for their money, and it has the added feature of one of the legs being able to be removed for use as a full size mono pod, something none of these offer. The center column can be reversed for the lowest shooting capabilities, and in normal set-up reaches a little over 66". With its Arca compatible quick release ball head, the Giottos brand shouldn't have been left out of these reviews. This unit meets most every situation a traveling photographer might run into, and should have been featured.
Giotto's was definitely considered, but unfortunately we (myself and Giotto's) couldn't coordinate getting one of their Vitruvians at the same time as all the other CF tripods. Same thing happened with Velbon in the aluminum group, so both brands are now high on the list for future tripod reviews.
@ Mark Banas
Respectfully,...you could not get one? A multimillion dollar web site could not purchase one? You only review items you can get for free?... and tell companies in advance that you be looking critically at what they send you?
Great review, thanks DPR. Question: I would find it useful to be able to add my tripod to my gear list. Is it too expensive to add these sorts of accessories?
Nice job on a thorough review! Although I wish the Really Right Stuff TQC-14 would have been included. It's about $1100 USD and does not fold to 180 degrees for storage, but I think that is a misleading attribute. These tripods seem to need to remove the head for storage, which is a pain. The TQC-14 collapsed with head on is less than 21" and 3.3 pounds total; this is a travel tripod.
I have a TVC-33 with a BH-55 head and the TQC-14. They are excellent quality, and have never failed. Yes they are expensive, but in this case IMHO you get what you pay for. I would have enjoyed seeing Mark's opinion on the Really Right Stuff TQC-14 in this comparison although there are many single reviews of this tripod on the Internet.
Thanks for pointing that out. I attempted to edit my comment shortly after posting, but for some reason there is no edit available??. I see that some can do this. I like the way the Gitzo folds up. Is this true for all of them? If so that could save you 4 to 5 inches when folded compared to the RRS TQC-14, and I can see that this is a benefit.
"while the leg locks are made from smooth, thick plastic that provides a gloss counterpoint to the rubber grips."
For the record, the CT-3441S leg locks are are actually CNC machined from Aluminium not plastic!
It's possible that there have been changes in the production and materials. I'll check with Feisol about the latest models, but the sample that was sent had plastic locks. They were tested for electrical conductivity/ resistivity, which is also how to determine aluminum vs. cast magnesium.
The screwlocks are hard black anodised which acts as an insulator and provides corrosion resistance. Remove a screwlock and do a continuity check on the internals where bare alloy may be found. Thin walled plastic screwlocks wouldn't hold up to the frequent application of a fine threaded torque.
I have a very similar Velbon that seems to do everything these do yet it cost only 1/2 that of the lowest price reviewed model. The only significant difference is that the Velbon is mostly aluminum. Is it worth double price for carbon fiber?
Yes it is. Carbon is stiffer and lighter than aluminium, which allows for a more sturdy build, and it is far better at damping vibrations. Carbon fibre tripods are hence lighter and more stable.
Infrared, are you some kind of troll, or is it that you have no sense of humour - or, worst still, you can't 'get' humour?
I do undesrstand sarcastic humour - when it is present, which does not happen in the case of your replies.
True, cf is stiffer and lighter than aluminum but the Velbon is very sturdy. That's probably because it incorporates a center brace. My only question is whether the cf tripods are worth 2X the price for a few ounces less weight.
Were I in the market for a full-sized tripod to replace my ancient Ponder & Best, which is all aluminum but steady as a rock and strong enough to hold a Mamiya 6 X 7 camera with lens, I would by a cf model. That P&B is no lightweight and the latest CF I tried is considerably lighter, which at my fairly advanced age is no small thing.
I don't know how anyone could buy a tripod called '3 Leeged Thing Eddie'. Come on, it's ludicrous! If I had one of those, I'd never even mention I had a tripod to my friends. I'd be the laughing stock of the group.
I have a Triopo carbon fibre tripod (OK, I admit it isn't a very serious name either...) that is a clone of the Sirui, save for having only one neoprene grip. I suspect there's a lot of OEM going on here, as the spiders of all tripods (bar the Gitzo) look very much alike. This is not a bad thing, as carbon fibre tripods have become quite affordable while retaining the properties of this material.
I find, however, that the weight advantage evaporates somewhat when the head is mounted. Ball heads can be quite heavy, though they're very practical.
That's George Costanza alright. Were you foolish enough to think it was my actual picture?
No matter how many eclairs George Costanza might eat from the dustbin, he'll never be as ridiculous as '3 Legged Thing Eddie'.
And, no matter how silly his ideas, he'll always make more sense than you do in your reply.
Manuel - That is Cosmo Kramer. George Costanza is the bald headed round face bespectacle guy. How can I take you seriously?
That little argument about turntables is still haunting you, huh...? Get a life. Move on. Anyone with a brain could have deduced I changed my avatar in the meantime. (Except you, of course.)
what turntable Cozmo?
Let me refresh your memory, then: "Good for you. Since this forum is about the Beatles, would you care to share how you fit your Rega Planar 3 etc. into your VW Beatle and play your records while cruising on the freeway?" Do you recognize it?
...On the other hand, you did well to forget it. It was a rather moronic reply, as I pointed out back then, but you can't do without a good argument, can you? Well, you know what they say: "arguing on the internet is like taking part in the paralympics; you might win, but you're still a retard".
Cosmo - you have to take it easy. Don't you have anything better to do in Portugal? Come over for a visit to the USA and see how we live. . .
Thank you, but I'll have to decline. I don't want to visit a country where human rights are violated (death penalty? Com'on...!), crime rates are the highest in the world, there is no universal health service, no social security to talk about, public education is the poorest in the northern hemisphere and it's the country where the most hateful people in the world - i. e. republicans like John Boehner and Sarah Palin - live. Besides there is still too much racism and xenophobia. I pass. Why should I want to visit the USA? I am blessed to live in Europe!
You are welcome. I thought you would like to enjoy and take photos of the great natural and man-made scenes we have. Too bad you are only aware of the bad things we have. But look at the good side, our freedom of press allow us to know what is happening around us. As for bad public education, it reflect the abuse of freedom we have. Despite this bad public education, the last I heard, the 20 top Universities in the world are in the United States of America. How many Universities in Portugal are in the top 100?
Three or four, which is not that bad for a country with 10 million inhabitants. One of them, incidentally, is Coimbra, the one I graduated in.
Hmmmm … I can't see any University from Portugal in the list of Top !00 Universities in the World the last three years. I can't find Coimbra in either of the list below but I read in Coimbra brochure that they are among the list ranked between 401 to 500.
Check these links below and see for your self:
This next link list the Academic Ranking of World Universities conducted and publish by China.
I earned Electrical and Mechanical Engineering degrees from MIT and earned Nuclear Engineering from another university ranked 99th in the second list.
Of course. Rankings tend to favour private universities and benefit the country where they're made. An american rating will favour american schools. What did you expect? Here in Portugal it's the same - rankings are usually established by companies held by financial groups that also hold participations in universitiies and private schools. Plus rankings don't meter the intelligence and erudition of their students, nor their professional skills, do they? It only takes a renowned prize winner to unbalance the rankings in favour of the university the winner graduated from. Rankings are mostly marketing. Nothing prevents one person graduated from a top university from being an a$$hole...
You disparage my country and BRAGGED about your education, now you are making it personal. Yup, your icon reflects who you are.
The research /ranking was conducted by an international organization. The second one was by China. Research the schools listed WORLD WIDE to see if it is Private or Public.
Please, man, I'm working, OK? Stop wasting my time.
Thanks a lot for these reviews. I've been using for a long time tripods I inherited from my grand-father - needless to say I needed an update regarding current tripod designs and this provided a little help.
Luminous Landscape has much better review than this. The reviewer is NOT paid nor accept freebie. If you are from the USA or Canada, you might appreciate the products reviewed are made in the USA. Unless you are a REALLY SERIOUS PHOTOGRAPHER, the price might scare you . . . The REALLY RIGHT STUFF is over $1,000
I have a couple of older Manfrotto carbon tripods (443, 444 - the first belongs to a friend but I am storing it) and the similar vintage monopod. The carbon components are great and overall very light but the whole thing is still let down by the need to have a metal head that outweighes the rest of the ensemble.
I have tried a variety of ball heads and also a 3 axis video head type thing and in all cases they are the (weight) problem.
It would be interesting to look at the weight of the actual carbon components compared to the AL versions. I suspect that there isnt much difference at all, since they are just hollow cylinders.
In the bike market for example, AL frames can be made very light, comparable to CF.. the main advantage with CF is the ride quality, ability to shape frames (e.g. aero), and ability to strengthen different parts of independently.
My most favourite tripod is Manfrotto 190MF4. It easy and extremely convenient.
$800.00 for a tripod??? You are kidding me. Never!
You just never been in a situation when $300 brand-name tripod fails you. Actually, Chinese no-name tripods are tripods for $300 that DO NOT fail. And even cheaper. I use Sirui T-1205X... well, there are small issues, but I rarely load it with anything lighter than 1DmkIV and 17-40, and always carry it with me in a backpack (2,2 lbs with head is nothing), and use it in quite abusive way, and I paid $200 for it three years ago. So Chinese CF "gitzoids" are THE solution.
If I had a $200 camera, I wouldn't buy a $500 tripod either... but my D810 with a 24-70 f2.8 might be worthy of a $1,500 mount (Gimbal, ball head, and legs) But then again, I won't spend that $1,500 again, but I probably will spend $4,000 on a camera again in the future... the point is... is your camera valuable enough to get good legs.
Derouyag, sometimes you get what you pay for, and that seems to be the case with tripods and heads. Thom Hogan has an excellent primer on tripods and anyone looking for one should seek out that article which is easily found by Google. Once you buy a quality tripod, you will have it forever. I'm certain that is the case with my Really Right Stuff equipment.
$600 is not too much to support $5,000 in camera gear, methinks. Key is that the tripod will last for years, unlike most of my other camera equipment. I figured, heck, I'll spend the money now, enjoy a first-class piece of equipment and never feel the need to update. I've had the Gitzo Traveler for more than a year and love it. Anyway, I see that it is an expensive piece of kit and others may not value it as I do. I do lots of travel and I do appreciate saving every ounce when I can.
JasonC66, I read an article probably about a year ago that matched my approach to spending. In summary the article said that many people buy cheap legs, then intermediate, then advanced; in total maybe $1,000 on legs. Meanwhile, if they had bought the advanced set of legs, they would have only spent $600.00 For my needs $600 is relatively expensive, but I won't spend that money again. I have a great tripod; Siriu M3204, with a Markins Q20 ballhead, and a ProMediaGear Tomahawk Gimbal with the Katana Cradle clamp. On top of that is the RRS L bracket (waiting for the D810 version), lens plates, and B85 Flash Bracket. I hate buying twice; but then I don't want to spend more that I have too.
I have a Gitzo GT1542T. It's a great tripod.
I chose a Really Right Stuff BH-30 PF over Gitzo ball heads because they work better and are modular, so that if I ever decide to use Arca plates, I can just swap out the platform.
I have three tripods and a monopod in actual use. One hefty carbon of Calumet own brand. That is mainly for 4x5 work. A small light one for compact and G2 use - the G2 using primes. My main tripod for outside use is a Gitzo series 1 Traveller but with an Arca-Swiss P0 head. (the Arcs Swiss shop in Germany sold that as a bundle). I don't use it for 4x5 but it will do for my SLR film cameras, my digital cameras and my film 6x4.5 and 6x6 cameras. I do not have any heavy telephoto lenses, so I am very happy with the stability. I am not sure that combination would be able to hold a heavy telephoto lens. I use a Calumet-brand tripod case to carry it.
I own the Gitzo which I use for my MFT kit and I own the older Feisol without the locking legs which I use for my FF kit.
I immediately ditched the included ball heads (too basic) and got reasonably-priced but far superior PhotoClam ball heads and set up all my cameras with Markins Arca Swiss plates. It' stone only way to go! (Arca plates that is) These tripods are all I ever need except the occasional Feisol CF monopod. I only go up to 70-200mm w/1.4x on my FF Kit so the Feisol is just great for my needs.. and the best part is the incredible height that this comfortable, light, decently sturdy tripod it goes to from such a small, small package.
I am considering selling my Feisol legs so that I can score on the newer locking leg model.
Great stuff for the price paid.
I bought a Feisol CB-40D head about 3 years ago. To call it "unrefined" would be flattering it considerably. It's a rough, uneven gripping grease filled metal pod.
Since I recently got a really good head from another company and thus don't need the CB-40D anymore, I took the head apart. It's a real mess inside, many manufacturing tolerances are simples greased away - and since the grease has changed properties over time and now is rather amber like in mine the head has changed in properties.
Where once you couldn't lock down the panorama plate now you practically can't unlock it anymore. It still holds insane weights at an angle but to start a panning movement requires strong and incalculable amount of force (book your place in a fitness studio and work out those biceps), while panning it will almost lock down on it's own.
And always bring a big forceps along on your travels, if you inadvertently turn the friction setting while the head is locked you will need them...
Useful height comparison figure. The duck is a nice touch :-)
I wonder why the Carbon Fiber options from the aluminum group doesn't show up here, for example the Benro travel angel II?
I have an earlier Gitzo GT1541T Traveler and Markins Q3 Traveler head. The Gitzo is for practical purposes perfection itself (the Markins isn't far off either). No other photographic item I own is as good at its job, as beautifully designed and made, or as satisfying to contemplate. If you're at all susceptible to good industrial design a Gitzo Traveler will make you happy.
P.S. I positively despised using travel tripods before I got the Gitzo, though I acknowledge Gitzo may have some worthy competitors today.
I've also got the previous Traveler-model (the older head didn't have quick release) and the Markins head. It don't fold quite as compact with that head, but the Q3 Traveler head has seperate pan knob and is generally a much better head - heavier though, and it increase the price.
I have always thought that travel size CF tripods have no advantages over aluminium ones, and the recent reviews seem to agree with my observations.
BTW, I don't think it's sensible to have separate reviews for CF and AL tripods, because if a person is in the market for a tripod, they'd certainly compare both.
Carbon Fibre tripods weigh less than aluminum tripods!
If you walk, hike, bike and travel without a car, you'll appreciate every ounce that carbon fibre tripods save! My current CF tripod, with similar size/height specs, weighs just over a pound less than my aluminum tripod! That's a big deal and well worth the expense.
I've never cared about the weight difference from a CF tripod - saving 300g on the tripod when the tripod, head, camera and lens top 5kg in combination means that the weight of a can of coke is neither here nor there. But in the same range, CF tripods do tend to be much more solid and better at hiding vibration - the "wobble the top" test on a Manfrotto 055XProB and a 055CXPro3 showed me this.
Much as I'd like to be patriotic, the TLT legs did feel very wobbly to me when I last tried them, at least for the price. Though they're not exactly ZipShots.
It's a shame that the test requirements ruled out the Velbon REXi L (the legs don't reverse and it's not a kit, but otherwise it fits the aluminium test - it folds up short and it's very solid) and the RRS 1-series (a bit too long, legs don't reverse). Reversing legs aren't everything - they limit your choice of head, and you can usually invert the column on a conventional tripod if you really want.
About 8 years ago I got the Feisol legs for about $350; within 2 years one of the metal hinges cracked, fatally. Now I'm using Gitzo and its been bulletproof.
Surprised to not see a Dolica tripod reviewed here.
Funny you should say that. I recently purchased a Dolica LX600B502DS 60" carbon fiber tripod from Costco (unfotunately not on Costco's website anymore) for $199. The reason I went with the Dolica over a Sirui N-1204 was that it was $200 cheaper and included a ballhead. I can also return the tripod to Costco if it fails at a later date.
The legs and locks work well and the ballhead now works as it should. The original ballhead would rock a bit and rotate back and forth a little when all knobs were tightened down. I contacted Dolica support services and sent them a video of the defective ballhead and they promptly sent me a new one.

Carpineto was founded in 1967 by Antonio Zaccheo and Giovanni Sacchet, who now own 424 hectares of prime vineyards in the Chianti and Montalcino areas. Their aim is simple: to produce modern, world class Chianti and Brunello dI Montalcino.
Giovanni Sacchet was born in northeast Italy and studied oenology at Congliano. He met Antonio Zacchero, fell in love with Tuscany and promptly founded Carpineto in 1967.
Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled vats and maceration on the skins lasts for 16 days. The wine is aged in Slovenian oak barrels for 36 months, followed by six months in the bottle.
This is an iconic Brunello. Dry, warm and well textured, with a lingering bouquet reminiscent of liquorice, raspberries and vanilla. It has a long, firm finish. One to decant.

KBW Washington analyst Brian Gardner in a note on Wednesday wrote that despite some opposition from Republicans in the Senate to Yellen's nomination, "we expect her to be easily confirmed." Gardner also addressed the potential opposition of Yellen based on her support of the Federal Reserve's extraordinary monetary stimulus efforts. "We should also add that prominent inflation hawks like John Taylor have praised Dr. Yellen's qualifications and the ability to handle the job while disagreeing with her on policy. In our view, this makes it tough for a critical mass of Republicans to block the Yellen nomination."

MMA fighter in 'critical' condition after KO by McGregor team-mate
A Portuguese MMA fighter was rushed to hospital on Saturday night after he was knocked out by an SBG stable-mate of Conor McGregor at an event in Dublin.
Charlie 'The Hospital' Ward scored a third round TKO victory over Joao Carvalho at the National Stadium as McGregor cheered on from the crowd.
However, after being initally checked out by medical personnel in the ring, Carvalho then became 'very ill' 20 minutes after the fight after being checked out by doctors a second time, according to the Facebook page for the fighter's trainer.
It also says that Carvalho was 'rushed to hospital' after the bout, and they are awaiting further details on his condition.
The Star is reporting this morning that Carvalho is in 'critical condition' in hospital.
Ward is also trained by McGregor's coach, John Kavanagh, and turned professional last November. He currently holds a 2-1 record.

James Delingpole launches a new series on how to use our favourite auction website with his own online memories
Remember how exciting charity shops used to be before the internet came along? Whenever I found myself passing through some quaint provincial town, I'd nip into the local Oxfam for a quick browse in case they were selling a stack of vintage Ladybird books for 10p a piece. Or maybe one of those lovely old-fashioned jigsaws they don't make any more, showing apple-cheeked children waving as a steam train passes through an idyllic English landscape unblighted by wind farms. Or even, nestling between the souvenir ashtrays and chipped Silver Jubilee mugs, a lovely piece of Clarice Cliff pottery that no one else had spotted. You would almost always come away with something.
Not any more you don't, though. Today, wherever you find yourself, from Welshpool to Appleby to Totnes to East Dereham, the story is always the same: somebody will have got there before you. And that person, like as not, will be flogging those treasure-trove bargains - the ones that should, by rights, have been yours - at a handsome profit on eBay. a cornflake: £1.20 sign: $450,400 Lotus Esprit: 50p chewing gum: $263 vampire-killing kit: $4,550 toasted sandwich: $28,000 air guitar: $5.50 Even though I was there pretty near the birth of the internet shopping phenomenon, I've never ceased to be amazed how spectacularly this baby has grown. When I started writing an e-shopping column in the Telegraph in December 1998, I used to worry how on earth I'd find enough new sites to write about, and would grumble about those I did find, lamenting how miserably slow and hard to navigate they were. In the time it took to fill in the online order form, you could just as easily have nipped to the high street and back to post it off.
Since then our shopping habits have changed almost beyond recognition. The Centre for Economics and Business Research estimates that by the end of this year the UK internet retail market will be worth £4 billion - 15 per cent of total sales. Where once we quavered at the thought of sending our credit card details into the computer ether, and agonised over whether we'd be in when the delivery man arrived, now we can scarcely conceive of an existence without internet shopping: we buy our books at a hefty discount from Amazon; we get that nice man from Ocado to spare us the weekend supermarket slog; we're even buying our clothes online, secure in the knowledge that in the cut-throat competitive world of e-shopping the customer is king, which means there's never a problem exchanging anything we don't like.
Truth is, the advantages of the internet shopping age far outweigh the disadvantages. I'm thinking, especially, of that wondrous 21st-century bazaar, eBay, which is now Britain's most popular shopping site. We each spend an average of £50 on it a year; it accounts for 10 per cent of all the time we spend on the internet; and it attracts more than 15 million British customers competing for 10 million items on sale at any one time.
The eBay site launched itself on an unsuspecting world back in 1995. The story goes that its founder, Pierre Omidyar, was trying to devise a way of helping his fiancée trade Pez candy dispensers (a tall tale that has since been exposed as a piece of PR spin). What is true is that the very first item sold on eBay was a broken laser pointer sold for $14.83. Bemused, Omidyar contacted the buyer to check that he understood it was broken. "I collect broken laser pointers," the buyer replied.
Worldwide, eBay (named after Omidyar's technology consulting company Echo Bay) now trades around £1,000 worth of goods every second and last year its gross merchandise volume was £26 billion. If Britain is a nation of shopkeepers, then eBay is our marketplace of choice: in 2006, more than 68,000 Britons earned at least a quarter of their income by trading on eBay, and the number increases every year.
Some of these people, I'm sorry to say, are the ones who clear the charity shops of all those juicy bargains I mentioned at the beginning. This is jolly annoying. I do resent the way, for example, that it's impossible to find reasonably priced 1970s large-format Topsy & Tim stories now that everyone knows from the prices they command on eBay just how special they are.
But I'm sure, on the whole, that eBay has done the world more good than harm. Take children's toys, for example. A few Christmases ago, I paid £40 for a suitcase full of second-hand Kinex which would have cost me ten times that much if I'd bought it in the shops. And as a collector of militaria, I doubt I would ever have tracked down the extremely rare Commando combat manual, All-In Fighting, without eBay's help.
Best of all, it was thanks to eBay that my wife and I managed to avoid a truly dreadful falling out with our nice friends down the road. They were having their kitchen done and very sweetly offered us the old Aga they were planning to chuck out. This we gratefully accepted but then had to spend £2,000 we could ill afford having a special flue installed and a brick base built for it. Just after we'd had the work done, our friends announced that sorry, they'd grown rather fond of the Aga and did we mind if they kept it after all? Did we mind?
It was very nearly war until eBay came to the rescue. After a quick browse I found a Rayburn owner who was having his kitchen done and was prepared to sell his old oven - nicer looking than the Aga - for a fraction of its list price. Our guilt-ridden friends generously stumped up. Order and happiness were restored.
It's a great story and one I always tell myself, whenever I'm feeling too dyspeptic about the curse of technology and the modern age.

A member of the cabbage family, bok choy is often found in Asian cuisine, especially Chinese dishes. High in water, cooking bok choy requires a light hand and brief heating. Overcooking this vegetable renders it soggy and inedible, but its crunchy flavor when properly prepared makes it an exotic addition to many dishes. Aside from cooking, raw bok choy can be added to salads or with dips.
Selecting and Storing Bok Choy
Choose bok choy with dark green tips on the leaves and a bright white base. The head should be firm and crisp, not limp. Purchase only an amount of bok choy that can be used within 2 days. After that, the vegetable becomes limp. Store bok choy in the vegetable crisper in a plastic zip top bag made for produce storage or a perforated bag.
Preparing Bok Choy for Cooking
Just prior to use, the head of bok choy should be trimmed by cutting off the root end and pulling off limp or discolored leaves. The leaves should be separated while holding the bok choy under running water until the water runs clear and all visible dirt has been washed away.
Steaming Bok Choy
Place trimmed and cleaned bok choy stems into a vegetable steamer and steam for 1 minute. Add the leaves and continue to steam for an additional 5 minutes. This method will ensure that the thicker white stems will be cooked through without the leaves becoming soggy. When cooked, the bok choy should be bright green and crisp-tender.
Grilling Bok Choy
Cut bok choy in half lengthwise, but do not remove the root. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium high heat. Brush the cut surface with oil or a marinade and place cut side down onto grill. Keep the grill lid closed or lightly cover the bok choy with a tent of aluminum foil and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the bok choy is tender.
Stir Frying or Sauteeing Bok Choy
Trim the bok choy into 1/2-inch slices and separate the leaves from the white stems. Heat a wok or saute pan over high heat. Add 1 to 2 tbsp. of oil once the pan is hot. Add the white stems of the bok choy and stir fry for 3 minutes. Pour the slices of leaves into the pan and continue to saute for another 3 minutes. The leaves will be wilted and the stems crisp-tender.

In 1990, Emmylou Harris' run of superb mid-'70s albums was over, and she hadn't yet assembled the Nash Ramblers, the acoustic band that gave her music a heady kick-start prior to her first striking collaboration with Daniel Lanois, Wrecking Ball. As a result, Brand New Dance captures Harris at the end of one cycle and just before the start of another, and the material and production suggest Harris was ready for some changes. Emmylou Harris probably couldn't make a truly bad album if she tried, and as always, she's in lovely voice on Brand New Dance, but she doesn't always sound especially engaged with the material, most of which falls into the "good-but-not-great" category (notable exceptions — a strong cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Tougher Than the Rest" and the title cut). In addition, producer Allen Reynolds puts a shade too much pop-friendly gloss on the arrangements and mix for several of these tunes, and despite the presence of a truly impressive team of accompanists, this album never quite catches fire as in Harris' best work. Brand New Dance is a strong and professional piece of work, but Harris' next few albums would remind fans she was capable of a lot more than that.

How to deal with a child's tantrums
Most parents think it's improper to spank their children in today's society.
1. Take the child for a car ride.
Here is a photo of one of my sessions in case you want to try this technique.
50 MPH is the best speed for this to be really effective!
Before you complain, the car is stationary on the grass verge.

Well, I decided to make an introduction, since I've kind of been a loner so far during my editing period in CoD wikia.
So yeah, read my homepage for full info, but I'm just a simple RTS and FPS player, who likes to snipe, eat, and play sports. I work part time at a writing job, and I code stuff for small time companies if I need a little quick cash.
Well, I hope I get along with everyone here,

My Girlfriend and her Mom
This is Vishnu from Cochin, Age 28, good looking, and 6 feet tall, handsome guy with big Lund. I too had lots of great experience and wanted to share with you all. This is my first story and this is about my girlfriend and her mom. Both of them are extremely sexy and I was fortunate enough to fuck both of them. This is a true story.
I met my girlfriend in a party 2 years back and then we became good friends. I started dating her. She is a sex bomb. 20 years good looking with 34-29-34 figure. We used to meet frequently. I called her at my place on a weekend for a party. I cooked for her. Then we started to have drink together. She was in sleeve less top and skirt. She was looking damn sexy. After couple of drinks I came close to her and expressed my love to her. We hugged each other and smooched for long time.
I slowly took off her top and started kissing on her neck and caressing her back and arms. She started moaning and started holding me tight. I took off her skirt and then panty and started licking her pussy. She was moaning loud and then took my cock out of and started licking and sucking it for 10 min. then we got into 69. She was sucking my big monster and I was licking her juicy pussy. She was not able to control and asked me to fuck her hard.
I took her legs apart and started rubbing my big lund on her juicy pussy. She was moving her waist up down. She was still a virgin and was dying to get the big lund in her chut. I placed it on her opening and pushed hard. She cried with pain and I had to stop for a min and suck her nipples and then slowly I started pushing inside and soon my big lund was all inside her. I started pumping her hard. Now her cries reduced and she started enjoying. I fucked her hard. 4 times in the whole of night. She gave me great blow jobs. After that night we used to meet frequently and I used to fuck her.
She invited me once to her home on her Birthday. I met her Mom who is a widow. Age-45, looking very young like 35 and have great assets. Her figure is 36-30-38. She is damn sexy & cute. She met me with a smile and told me that her daughter praises me a lot and even she wanted to meet me. I thanked her and we celebrated the Birthday of my girlfriend.
After that I used to go to her home once in a week or so. And I used to meet my girlfriend at my place and fuck her hard. One day I got a call from her mom that she needs some help from me. I told her. Aunty please tell me I would be there to help you. But she told me that she will take my help only if I promise to her that I would not share this with anyone. Not even to her daughter. I told Ok and told her that she could trust me and I will not share it with anyone. Then she asked me to reach her home by 12:30 noon. And that time my girlfriend was out and she returns home by 6-6:30 PM usually.
I reached at her place by 12:30 PM sharp. She opened the door. She had just taken bath and was in her sleeve less gown. And I noticed that she was not wearing bra. She welcomed me with a great smile and gave me water and then we had tea. She talked to me in general and then I asked her what help is she looking from me. Then she again asked me to promise that I would not tell to anyone. I told yes aunty. This is between u and me only. U can trust me as much as u trust yourself. I will not tell this to anyone. She was convinced then and then she told me about the help.
She told me that she has been having body pain for the last few days and she need my help to massage her. She does not want to call anyone from outside. She knows me and trust me and wants my help to relax and massage her full body. I never expected this but I was very happy to hear that as she was damn sexy and I was sure I will have great time massaging her. I smiled and said yes. I will be privilege to help you aunty.
Then she told me that don't call her aunty. Rather call her by her name Mohini. I told her Thanks Mohini. I am here to help you. She told me that you are my sweetheart and I love you for helping me out. And she came close to me and hugged me hard. I hugged her hard and started caressing her body. I kissed her on her cheeks and then on her lips. We started smooching and we continued for 15 min. I started pressing her boobs and caressing her back and stomach and kissing on her neck caressing her thighs. She started moaning. I took her in my hand and took her to bed room. She had already put some oil there.
I took off her clothes and she took mine and I sucked her boobs. And she hold my cock and started giving me blow job. After some time I asked her to lie down on bed and started massage. Rather sex massage. I caressed whole of her body, from head to toe. She was moaning loud while I was caressing her back and then boobs. She was out of control and then started saying to fuck her hard with my big monster. I fucked her hard in several position and we had great sex several times since 6:00 PM in the evening. She gave me great blow jobs various times. She was great in doing that.
After that it became my routine to fuck Mohini 3-4 times in a week during day time and then her daughter in the evenings at my place. On the same day my Lund used to be in Mohini's pussy and mouth and her daughters mouth and pussy. It had been great fun and experience. Mohini wants me to fuck her and her daughter together. But she is scared of her daughter and we have not yet done that.

Your answer is one click away!
I am using Knockout JS to work with an editable grid. Updates work fine when typing values into the table cells. However, I need to set a date as a result of clicking a "set complete date" button. The Javascript update sets the value in the view model, but does not update the table cell on the screen. Based on web searches, this should work if the cell is observable. For some reason, it doesn't. The attached code is self contained, and illustrates the problem.
The following code is a simplified version of what I'm trying to accomplish. By clicking on the name field, the view model is updated with "a new name". I want this to update the cell on the html display as well.

Fresh Water Buoys

Hello, SOM\roland.wales!

Home

About<
I copied and pasted your code into JSFiddle. The issue is in the nameClick() function. You are setting the seat.name value to a new observable, when it should just update the observable.
Change the following:
seat.name = ko.observable("a new name");
To this:
seat.name("a new name");
And the code should work.

How can I get the currency value from a textbox into the stripe payment integration?Asked by devincornell on December 14, 2016 at 11:26 AMAlso - where is the option in the Stripe wizard to get the currency value from the text field I created
To set up your form to get a value and pull that into your stripe payment integration it can be found under your additional settings when you use the product mode for "user defined amount".
Please see https://www.jotform.com/help/275-How-to-Pass-a-Calculation-to-a-Payment-Field for more details to get started with it.
I can use that to pass the calculated total, but I don't see how to adjust the currency.
I apologize for the misunderstanding.
Do you mean you want to change the currency from usd to pounds etc? Or?
If not then please clarify this more so that we can assist you better.
I have US customers who I want to charge is USD and Canadian customers that I want to charge in CDN.
I am able to detect which country they are in using the location widget.
Thank you kindly for the additional information you've provided.
Depending on the type of payment integration you're planning on using usually there is a setting that we have for it self-titled as "currency" allowing you to pick and set it.
Here's an example from the paypal integration:

Goldikova shaky at the distance
Goldikova sets out Sunday on the road to what she hopes will be a third consecutive Breeders' Cup Mile title when she meets a first-class field in the Group 1, $312,000 Prix d'Ispahan at Longchamp.
Trainer Freddie Head and owners Gerard and Alain Wertheimer will be holding their breath, however, as the 5-year-old Goldikova failed in this same race last year when she was seventh on unsuitably soft ground.
The going will be good at Longchamp on Sunday, but the distance of the Ispahan remains unchanged at 1 1/8 miles, 55 yards. Is this too long a trip for Goldikova? She has only been farther than a mile one other time, finishing third, 4 1/2 lengths behind Zarkava, in the 1 5/16-mile French Oaks. Olivier Peslier has the job of holding her together through the extra distance, but it is the quality of the opposition that poses a bigger threat to the seven-time Group 1/Grade 1 winner.
Looming large is Stacelita. Trained by Jean-Claude Rouget and owned by American Martin Schwartz, Stacelita won a trio of Group 1's last year, among them the French Oaks and the 1 1/4-mile Prix Saint-Alary. She, too, is making her seasonal debut and will be ridden by Christophe Soumillon.
The Andre Fabre-trained Byword is fresh from a May 1 victory in the one-mile, Group 1 Prix du Muguet, a race that might have been a more sensible return for Goldikova. Wiener Walzer, the winner last year of the German Derby and the Rhineland-Pokal, both 1 1/2-mile Group 1's, also will be making his seasonal debut. Board Meeting, second in the Group 1 Prix de l'Opera and the winner of the Group 3 Prix de Psyche, both at 1 1/4 miles, makes her first start of the season for Elie Lellouche.
Also on the card is this year's edition of the $312,000 Prix Saint-Alary, the key 1 1/4-mile, Group 1 prep for the French Oaks. Bloodline aficionados will be keeping a close eye on Deluxe, a Storm Cat filly who is bidding to become the sixth Group 1 winner produced by her dam, Hasili. Trained by Fabre for her breeder, Khalid Abdullah, Deluxe won a one-mile Chantilly maiden in her Sept. 22 debut, then took a one-mile allowance at Longchamp in her most recent outing on April 15. She was considered for the French 1000 Guineas last Sunday, but Fabre said he believes she will be better at distances beyond a mile. Maxime Guyon rides.
Helen Barbe has supplemented her Group 3 Prix Penelope winner Dariole. Trainer Pascal Bary has given the mount to Gregory Benoist. Godolphin hopes that its Group 1 Fillies Mile winner Hibaayeb can bounce back from her horrible 16th-place finish in the 1000 Guineas while Sarafina and T'As d'Beaux Yeux both put their modest unbeaten records on the line.

Lego bricks. Lego-like bricks that's for sure. I lost counts as to how many Freya's been busy with assembling and re-assembling the whole bricks into these school-like building--complete with its facilities.
So, we're stuck at home and Freya--as always--could not just be still.
Without I ever realized it.....she finished the whole process of making what looked like...well...Those!
Okay..as long as you enjoy doing it, gal.
