Ok I literally know nothing about tripods so need some advice.
At the moment I am using one I picked up for a tenner a couple of years ago. It does the job (to an extent!) but is rather heavy! I am off on a tour of Iceland soon and am looking to get an suitable (and much lighter!) tripod to take with me. I also would want to use it for all my photography (ie not just for my trip). I am using a 7D with 400mm lens so it would need to be able to support that. Also I am 6ft so don't want one too small.
I have looked on ebay at Carbon Fibre tripods and the prices vary so much that I've got confused. I don't want to spend a lot of money and find it is not suitable. Am happy to go second hand but don't really know what to look for.
My budget is around £150 but can go to more if needed.
Thanks in advance for any help
