Alright guys, I need some help. Normally I know equipment pretty well but there are so many tripods on the market.
I currently use a Vanguard Alta Pro tripod for all of my work, and it's adequate. It's simply too heavy for me to take on longer hikes, especially overnight backpacking trips through the mountains. A large reason for these trips is landscape photography, so leaving the tripod home isn't an option.
I need a tripod that is sturdy enough to hold at most a D500 and tokina 11-16, and it needs to fold down as light and small as possible. I'd prefer it to extend to a decent working height, but I could live without full height as I usually choose lower angles anyway.
Price is an issue at the moment, but if I simply need to spend more money I can save for a bit. If the answer is gitzo then so be it and I'll save and get one for next year.
What would you reccomend?
