And besides.. you will have a gimbal 🙂 I was taking about using with very long focal lengths (for wildlife). It's not possible to use a gimbal with such lenses.

pixelpreaching Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I don't know what your payload is, but a few I've used that are under $200 and very good: Benro S2Pro/S4 Pro (same goes for S6 Pro / S8 Pro, those just have higher payloads) - the S4 Pro is only $50 more than the 2 and worth it if you can Acebil H805 and H20 Davis & Sanford FX13 If you can afford very nice ones, I use a Sachtler ACE XL, Miller DS-10, and Manfrotto Nitrotech N12 (also have an N8). I wouldn't call those particularly lightweight, though. And they're pricey. And I don't know if you're looking but I'll shout out the best (imo) tripod legs for the money: Benro A373T ($206 at Adorama). I love those things and they are phenomenal - they'd be worth it for twice the price. They're not my primary legs on a serious shoot (they're back up or B-cam) but I use them when I need to work lighter in which case my Sachtler legs are just too much. They're 75mm bowl but you can buy a 75mm half ball adapter if you have any heads with a flat base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
