After spending many hours investigating the other reviews, I have seen on reputable sites that this boom is CF infused aluminum. There are no pure CF booms for the 800. These are not fake, that's just the way Align makes them. I really wish I had known this before oredering the matte black one from another site.
This is not real carbon fiber it is heavy and a ripoff so don't buy it ever
Guys, this is not carbon fibre! But a cheap cf fake cover over regular steel. So the boom is quite heavy also. The boom is ok as a boom. But don't think you are buying real carbonfibre. For this I am giving this a real poor rating...
Three reviews of the Align 800E 3K Carbon Fiber Tail Boom Set disagree about its construction. Two reviewers say it is not true carbon fiber, describing a carbon cover over a heavier core, with one identifying the core as steel, and both say the boom is heavy. The third reviewer, rating it 5 out of 5, reports from other sites that it is carbon fiber infused aluminum and that Align makes no pure carbon boom for the 800, and says they wish they had known this before buying a matte black version elsewhere. The reviews do not confirm the core material independently. One reviewer says the boom works adequately as a boom. Reviewers agree on weight and on the need to check material claims before buying.
- + Functions adequately as a tail boom
- − Heavy for its role
- − Not pure carbon fiber; reviewers describe a carbon cover over a heavier core
- − Material claims may be misleading to buyers
