This summer, I'm taking a trip to Hawaii, and plan on bringing my photo gear (obviously). I plan on doing some intense hiking, and I want to bring along a nice tripod and head with me so I can take shots in a variety of situations.
So what should I get? My budget is $300 for tripod and head. I want to get something heavy, but not too heavy because I have to trek around with it and the stuff that you see in my signature. I also want to be able to do panoramas.
I find myself overwhelmed by the Tripod selection and the various features of the models, and the heads. I'll be damned if some of the ones I saw on BH aren't self-aware. Recommendations with explanation of features and why they're useful are welcome.
Also, if you know of any just straight up tripod guides, please let me know, thanks everyone!
