Tripod for heavy lenses (2 Viewers)

[Evan Atkinson]

Hey birders, I recently hired out a 150-600mm f5-6.3 Sigma lens, and realized that because it weighs over 2kg, it would not fit properly on my tripod . I'm looking for a tripod that can support this lens with ease, but fits in the under £75 bracket. My grandpa has one but it won't be a permanent thing. Any information/links will be greatly appreciated.
