Hi folks... need some help here.
I'm going on a hiking trip and I need a light and flexible travel tripod with preferably a pan/tilt ball-head.
The rigged camera will be a P6K with a full cage and a Core SX Edge battery attached to its bottom. I plan to use a couple of lenses (A Sigma 16-35mm ART and the a 70-300mm Canon zoom for long). As many of you know, those lenses weigh a lot and so basically I'm probably looking at about 14-18 lbs of rigged camera.
Looking at the various travel tripods, they don't look sturdy to me although many that I'm looking at has payloads of 30 lbs and more. If any of you have done this before and used a travel tripod with a BH, can you recommend a sturdy and decently price kit? I have been looking at the 3 legged things but some of the review says it was not sturdy enough with heavy long lens like a 70-200mm Nikon glass on a Z6. That setup is lighter than what I will have. Thanks!
