I had pretty much settled upon a large Berlebach UNI series tripod for my new (to me) Korona 11x14. Then I started thinking about the weight of all this stuff. I dont have a scale here, but my guess is the Korona, lens and film holder are close to 20 pounds, add that to 15+ pounds of tripod and 3 pounds of Arca B2 ball head and its getting really heavy very fast.
So here I am back to ground zero, pondering if I should just buy a big old Gitzo Carbon like a GT5541LS. The price is not much higher than a Ries, though it s more than a Berlebach. But the weight is about half, my only concern is how good a job is does of dampening vibration versus one of the wooden tripods.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
