How much higher than the actual weight of the camera and lens would you go when buying a tripod legs and head?
My D7100 plus my heaviest lens, the nikkor 70-300, plus battery, filter, and memory cards should total around 4lbs. So I'd round it up to 5lbs to be safe. Considering that I'm not planning on buying any other heavy lenses any time soon, would a tripod that can hold 11lbs be enough or would it be safer to go for the 15lbs? Same question about the ball head...
