Thanks - I should add right now that I am not looking to spend more than around $150-200

Hi,

New user here. I have a very nice tripod at home which I use for portraits, macro, shooting off the deck, etc., but is way too big and heavy to carry around with me. I am looking for a good tripod that I can use for my Tamron 150-600mm lens and can carry on the back of a LowePro AW500 backpack. So if anyone has that pack or similar and a tripod that is sturdy enough for wildlife photography with the 150-600mm zoom yet light and compact enough to fit on the pack I would love to hear.

Thank you in advance

Bob
