Anyone have any suggestions for a stopgap aluminium tripod for a 600mm F4 lens?
I don't really want to stretch to a nice CF Gitzo at the moment as the outlay for the lens / camera makes things a bit tight, though hopefully I will within the next 12 months or so.Just need something reliable, cheap and preferably not too heavy for the time being. I am 5'10'', and would like not to have to use a centre column for the viewfinder to be at eye level mounted on a Manfrotto 503 video head.
Thanks in advance.
Incidentally, I used to have a Gitzo CF1325...anyone know what the equivalent model is in their range these days?
