The title says aluminium, the description says carbon fiber, which is the lie?

It is carbon fiber. I bought it for my husband, not knowing that he had already just bought a Gitzo, so we returned the Sirui. But he said the Sirui was an outstanding unit, and even felt some of the details were nicer than his Gitzo. So if you're looking for a good carbon fiber monopod, he would recommend this one even if the price were higher.

The price will tell you: Aluminum model sell for $60; the Carbon fiber model sells for $100.

It's aluminium. The carbon fiber is more expensive. I love mine (aluminium).

its comes in both models. the one for about $50 is Aluminum, the one for about $98 is carbon fiber. I have the aluminum ones and they are very light and very well made.

This one is aluminum...they also make a carbon fiber version which usually sells for $100. I have this one and honestly the amount of weight that you save with the carbon fiver isn't really worth the extra $40. Hope that helps.

It's aluminum .. not a bad travel pod. Fits on the side of my sling camera bag. If you plan to use a long heavy lens it may be a problem. I have an Olympus E-5 and moderate telephotos and have no problems. I hope that helps ... Phil

Current product description from their website is : 1 1/8" 700c Hi-Ten. Which is steel, not aluminium.

I think aluminum... not positive though. Look at the manufacturers website maybe??

I'm not 100% sure but I think it's aluminum - it's very lightweight (borderline chintzy).

It apears to be Aluminum - I have written to the seller, as I have a concern with a small crack on the side but they have not replied as yet and that was a few weeks ago!!!

It's actually heavyweight aluminum...It works well, if used as per the directions.

Sorry. It seems like an aluminum. Once you set the front you don't want to remove it.

I don't know 100%, but it very much seems like aluminum--dissipates heat incredibly well.

Aluminium. But it's heavily coated with some kind of inert food safe coating. Works great.

Mine were aluminum, and very well built. You should note the seller so that others can avoid being ripped off.

Yes it is. The head and one of the legs (the one with the foam grip) can be detached from the main body and screwed onto each other. This is true for both the aluminum and carbon fiber models.

Aluminum which is sandwiched with foam. Quite sturdy, durable and fade resistant.

No, it is not real carbon fiber. I do not think its a sticker, its more of a dip coating in a carbon fiber design.

It is not carbon fiber. It is black with an artificial leather grained appearance.
