I know this subject has probably been debated ad nauseam before my time here, but here goes.
I leave for a vacation in France and England in June, with expectations to have an opportunity for both night photos in Paris and London, as well as bird
photography. Like most people, I already have two tripods that simply don't do the job, both in stability and overall weight.
Looking for suggestions for the best tripod that fits the bill listed?
Thanks!
I use Sirui T-2205X and L10 tilt head, also use head with monopod. The L20 might be better choice for tripod. I find them very light and compact but still tall enough to use comfortablly. I travel with them every week and can fit them in my carry on bag along with other gear. I thought they were reasonably priced at the lower end of usable gear. I don't think you'd break them unless they were ran over or crushed in some way. So far I have no complaints and like using the gear for travel and plan to use for a long time. Used it last week in Mohave desert at night in the wind and stable enough for MW captures.
