Hi, I recently purchased a Wehman 8x10 camera and I'm now shopping around for a tripod. My principal requirement is that the tripod fold to under 20" so I can fit it and the camera into a carry-on bag. I live in South America where, unfortunately, baggage handlers have a reputation for theft.
I've got a clunky lens [Nikon 300mm f/5.6] which pushes my total weight to about 13lbs. I've been looking at the Feisol 3441 and the Gitzo 1541. In theory both of these tripods should work as they're rated for 15lbs and 16lbs respectively. My question is this: Am I pushing it? Can I really use the Wehman on such small tripods?
