I'm trying to put together a nice, heavy-weight (not light-weight) tripod system that can support up to 8x10 cameras. Initially, I'll be using 4x5, and eventually I'll probably end up using bigger cameras in the future (it's just inevitable
).
I'm getting some Gitzo G-1500 Tele Studex Mk2 performance tripod legs that can support 33 pounds, although, in the B&H description, it says it can support 42 pounds, but, whatever. Now for the head...
The ultimate head would be the Really Right Stuff ballhead (BH-55), but I just can't purchase that right now, and who knows, I might not even need it, or perhaps ballheads aren't very attractive to me at the moment. It's not that I'm cheap, but $400+ for a tripod head is a bit too much, considering all the lighting gear and other stuff I need to buy right now.
