Not Carbon and maybe a bit heavy but I have one of these (neotec)
<http://www.manfrotto.co.uk/photo-tripods-neotec> which you press and 
hold the button on each leg to pull out and adjust, then let go ad it 
stays, to put the legs away, press the button at the top and push legs 
home very quick and very stable, my main regret though is not listening 
to Walt and getting a geared head, as most of my tripod use would now be 
Macro.

I have no idea how the legs work but it does and they are infinitely 
adjustable.
