I've been feeling limited without a tripod, and must save some money for one. Perhaps I can buy one this summer? Anyway...
... I'm prepared to invest a fair amount in a tripod. I need one that can handle the nature. Please get me right, I'm not going to shoot in really harsh winds, but you know, a tripod that can handle everyday weather. Also, it should be able to stand ground in running water. Not big rivers, obviously, but streams and stuff. You get the idea.
All over, a sturdy tripod that don't dye on me. I've been looking on Induro Carbon 8X Stativ CT014 with Induro BHD1 ballhead. That'll cost me around $680, which is much money for a student.
I am assuming that this tripod and ballhead can take the weight that a canon eos 40d with non-crazy lenses mounted on it. I'm hoping to buy a tokina 11-16mm f2.8 once, as well as a tele lens, perhaps one in the 70-200mm family. Would that stuff hold that?
Now, perhaps some of you have other suggestions that fit my tripod needs? Also, I'd love to hear if anyone has any experience with mentioned equipment.
What's more important, a brilliant tripod or a brilliant ball head? I guess both should of decent quality, but if one had the chance to buy a good tripod and a GOD ballhead, would that be better than a GODLIKE tripod with a good ballhead?
