There have been a few threads on this subject before. I'm thinking to around a year's time and saving for a high quality lens, tripod and head combination. I am just pricing a 600mm lens set-up, and from earlier BF threads recommended tripods have been the Gitzo 1350, 3540LS and 1325. The Wimberley, King Cobra and Jobu Black Widow gimbals are on the shortlist for tripod heads.
What I need to know is, do I need anything else to couple a 600mm lens to the head ? Does the lens come with a bracket to attach it to the tripod head ?I have seen quick release plates advertised for some heads - would I need anything like this ? If I did buy a mega lens set-up I would like to be sure I order everything I need to get going.
Thanks,
Neil
