My question is about a good tripod and head for a 8x10" folding large format camera, for the moment I haven't, but I want to spend not more than 1000 € (an entry level) for it (without lens), no to a 8x10" with the price of 3000 €.
I will use it in the field.
In your opinion a tripod Manfrotto 028B and a head Manfrotto 400 or 405 is a good choice ?
Someone tell me to buy a Gitzo series 5 Systematic in carbon or a Ries (I haven't found Ries in Europe), there is also Berlenbach.
I prefer not to buy in USA, too expensive = delivery cost + duty + taxes. I don't want spend more than 1000 € for a Gitzo in carbon (I found it also in Italy), there are also the tripods Benro C38 or C48 in carbon and price is less than a Gitzo.
A tripod in carbon is light weight, but there are also some problems with them.

Other suggestion ?

Thank you to all

With best regards

Gianluca
