Hi. I am hoping somebody can help me with this:
I need a tripod for landscape photography/studio photography using my Mamiya RB67 (4kgs with everything) or Canon DSLR kit (photography and light video). Material is not important, though it will be used for exteriors mostly. I also don't care about the brand or country of make, as long as it works.
Maximum load capacity should be 6 kgs or more. It must be rock solid in all weather and terrain conditions.
I need both horizontal and 90 degree vertical ability (for the DSLR). I'll also need to tilt the camera for occasional shots.
I am not interested in Macro photography.
I will be carrying it around, so lighter the better, and smaller when folded the better.
I can go with three-way head or ball head, doesn't really matter since I will have a lot of time to set up my shot. Sports or fast photography is not my thing.
Since I'm just an amateur, I don't want to spend a lot of money right off the bat. I need the cheapest possible system that is reliable and conforms to my specifications. If anyone can assist me in making my decision, I'll be grateful. Thanks!
