tripod suggestion for D7000 with 70-200 VRII

[pinco000]

Hi guys, I need your help. I got my 70-200 vr2 for my nikon d7k and I cant decide what tripod to buy. I need my tripod to b able to hold 2,3kg roughly--> that the max I would put on. Also I need its height at around 160cm and more. Then there is the tripods own weight. I would like to be compact so I can strap it to my backpack.
Any suggestions guys?
PS: dont want to spend more than £100-150
cheers

Don't forget to turn the VR off when using a tripod.

For the price you are after the Manfrotto 055XPROB series would be an ideal option (I use one myself with a similar lens setup). However you'll also need to budget for a suitable tripod head, which is going to push your budget somewhat. Lightness is going to be a problem as if you want a light carbonfibre build tripod which is stable that is going to cost you more; with tripods you get two of:

Stability
Price
Weight

Stable and light sadly costs. There is a carbonfibre build of the 055 series tripods and you can also consider the second hand market for older tripods.
