I have a Toyo 4x5 that weighs about 4 pound with lens and holder. Is there a factor that I can multiply to come up with a figure that would tell me which tripod to pick? If two tripods hold the same weight, I assume that I should pick the one with the least segments. I am looking for carbon fiber. I want light, light for backpacking. I need every ounce that I can muster. At home I have a nice Berlebeck that I really like. I know I can add weight to steady it somewhat in the field but don't want that to enter into the calculation.


Thanks,
Richard Adams
