Wonder if some of you could advise on a tripod and head combo that would be flexible in terms of using it for my Opticron spotting scope and for camera use? We have just got the new Canon 350D and I hope to buy a Sigma lens in the next couple of months (Either the 170-500mm or the 50-500mm) so the tripod and head will have to be suitable for both the scope and a long heavyish lens. At present I am using an old Gitzo Reportage tripod which though very stable is much too heavy for use in the field really. So the tripod I need should be strong and stable and easily portable. Thanks in anticipation of any advice.
