I am trying to gauge the weight I would need to carry around if I got a 500mm f4. I thought about a Monopod and decent head as the lightest solution but the disadvantage would be that I could not plonk it down if I wanted a break from the weight.
What is the lightest tripod and head that would support the 500 and 40D without paying big money – are there any budget models out there? Is the Manfrotto 393 head any good for this combo?.
I have a Manfrotto 055 Pro tripod at the moment but I think it would be pushing it with the 500.
Once I settle on a good combo I am going to try a few route marches with the same weight to see if I could manage it without becoming to knackered
