Hello,
i would like to ask for opinions on a lightweight tripod for my Canon EF 500mm f/4, and a head system.
I am thinking of a Feisol Traveller tripod, maybe the CT 3441T with a Feisol Gimbal UA 180 U mount.
One important note is that i will rarely use my tripod fully extended with the 500mm lens. I will use it in a lower position while i am sitting in a hide. So the stability of the tripod at the top height is not important for me.
Before i was using a Manfrotto 190 CX Pro4 tripod with a Benro head, but the tripod was not totally stable when i had it half way up.
Is there something more i should have in mind?
Thanks in advance,
George
