Hi!

I'm looking at tripods for field work, specifically Gitzo's Mountaineer series o f carbon fiber tripods. I like the flexibility of the Explorer G2227 but I'm con cerned about it's ability to hold a LF camera steady for long exposures (15min-4 hours). The larger tripods are nice but big and I'm looking for good portability . Does anyone have suggestions/insight? Note. Camera I'm getting is under 6lbs. I am 6' 2" so a reasonably tall tripod would be good. Thanks!
