I'm about to buy a tripod and ball head that will eventually support a Canon 400mm f5.6 lens. I've added everything up and the most weight that would ever be on the legs is about 10 pounds, so I guess I'm looking for legs that have a max load in the 15 to 20 pound range, definitely carbon fiber.
I'm planning on using it mainly for bird photography, but also some landscape and macro stuff and who knows what else in the future..
Here's what I'm thinking of getting:
Manfrotto 055CXPro3 legs
Kirk BH-3 Ball Head
Kirk Quick Release Plate
Can anyone recommend cheaper or better models for any of this stuff (given my intended use)?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Matt
