Carbon tripod suggestions
Hello fom Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
I found this forum some time ago but I rarely post although I read the forum
on a regular basis and mostly the Photography Gear forum.
I have a 50D with a Sigma 50-500 (Bigma) and I intend to buy a carbon tripod to
replace my Manfrotto 055XPROB so I use it more often when hiking when using
this combo (50D + Bigma).
I'm not a pro and I don't make a living of photography, I just want to improve the
resources that I have that can lead me to better pictures. So I don't think I'll buy a 500/4L IS
in the future, maybe I could replace the Bigma with the newer 50-500/OS or 150-500/OS or Canon's
replacement of 100-400/L IS if and when it become available.
I'm considering any of these Gitzos: GT2541, GT-2531, GT-1541, GT-1531. With the max. weight being
8Kg or 12Kg I think any of them is adequate for my setup.
Recommendations ? Other brands/model ?
I'll be in Orlando, FL from April 22 until April 30. If anyone could recommend some camera stores
where I can find Gitzo tripods I appreciate.
Thank you.
