Hi,
I am looking to replace an old Manfrotto aluminium tripod (5.5 lbs) with a lightweight one. Just that the combination with the old style Arca Swiss ballhead (1.9 lbs) while very steady is becoming too much to carry and hindering me getting out. I am looking at the Gitzo 1545T. At 2.3 pounds and 22 pounds weight capacity will it be ok for a 4x5 / 8x10 usage if the total weight of camera plus lens is less than 10 pounds. Longest lens used will be 450mm/19in.
It would be wonderful if you could make alternative suggestions as well if you think getting the 1545T for LF work is being too optimistic.
