Asking for advice to buy a new tripod for landscape and travel $200 - $300.
thanks
thanks
Let's make this simple.
The tripod must support 1.5 to 2 times the total weight of your camera and largest lens (do think ahead). More research is needed on your part...

I am looking to purchase a tripod to use for photographing birds and other wildlife. I have a Nikon 7500 and a Sigma 150-600mm and 1.4 TC for this purpose, as well as other lenses. I currently use a Benro GH2 gimbal head mounted on a Manfrotto tripod that I have found is not sturdy enough for my purpose.
I am considering a Gitzo 4543LS Systematic Series 4 as a replacement. Any thought as to whether it would be a good choice? I appreciate the help.

Your tripod/gimbal should support at least twice the total weight of your camera and largest lens. It the Gitzo 4543LS Systematic Series 4 can do that, go for it!

I am new in the area. I am looking for a shooting partner, for general, wildlife, etc., etc.
Hopefully someone that knows the area, events, etc.

The Osprey looks pretty big, and was probably thinking . . .
"Should I eat her here, or take her back to my nest for the kids to enjoy?"
Both are beautiful shots, but I vote for number two.

First of all you should know what Nikon Lens will work with a Nikon tele-converter;
https://cdn-5.nikon-cdn.com/Assets/Common-Assets/Images/Teleconverter-Compatibility/EN_Comp_chart.html
Your 18-300 does not!
For your Tamron you must use a Tamron TC for Nikon.

Yes you have a loss of light when using a TC.
I use, on my D500 and the 200-500, the 1.4 and love it. Great for birding and wild life in general.

Might I suggest that before you get other lens. familiarize yourself with what you have and how you will use them. You might find out that you don't need that lens. The 18-200 is a good lens, but it overlaps what you already have.

I have shaky hands so with a telephoto (BIF?) I have a very hard time keeping the center spot (both exposure and focus) on the bird. I even have a hard time keeping the bird in the frame. What can I do to get a better percentage of photos with BIF in the frame and even better, in focus?
If you are using a lens like, 150-600 or 200-500 (heavy lens), I strongly suggest a tripod and gimbal.
If the lens are smaller, a monopod should suffice.
I strongly suggest always use Back Button Focus.

I've never seen so many in one small city. Time is limited. I will be going to Alligator Farm of course, also.
The place is great!!! Alligators are nice, but the birds are fantastic!
It is nesting season and you may have the chance to get up close!

How'bout the merchant's math: 35x12 is the same as 12x35
10x35=350
2x35= 70
Total - 420. Done! It can easily be done in head...
