Can people recommend a tripod and (ball?) head combination that is:
-Cheap enough that it is expendable, no great loss if stolen or lost.
-Light enough to be packed in and used on the way to and around base camp of some remote 7000ers in the Hindu Kush
-For portraits, landscapes and the usual waste of film. 210mm lens only.
-To support a 5x7 Nagaoka in mostly fine weather, no strong winds, no rain but lots of heat and some cold.
-Leg locks that are not totally infuriating.
-Cope with sand and grit.
-Take the knocks for 5 weeks.
-Camera on an Arca plate.
-Maybe no centre column.
I already have a Berlebach that I love but it is too long and bulky for a pack full of climbing gear and legs yet to acclimatise to altitude.
Thanks, shopping is not my strong suite and I have to buy sight unseen over the internet, could come from anywhere.
