I believe that all the Benbo range use tubular aluminium construction, the Trekker is quite light but not overly sturdy. The 1 and 2 are quite sturdy but they are large and relatively heavy too. I had a Mini Trekker and I used to borrow a 2 from a friend in the past, they are great tripods I've been thinking of getting one again as they are excellent for setting up fast in awkward spots.
