Quite rightly so you can't argue with physics but using a Manfrotto 625 is grossly overkill for his job. Actually for most jobs as it happens but that is my bias. Note here I said MOST not ALL.

Now, you are starting to think ! .......and your bias is recognized. I am not assuming anything, but recommending for large heavy equipment or, just to be ultra SAFE - which is the side I prefer to err on.

I would always rent the big heavy stuff and have it delivered to the location. The client pays for that. So of course, it was easy to make the case for the best - Gitzo, Majestic, etc depending on what was going on top of it. No question that today I would be renting RRS or Promedia stuff.
BTW, I hope you took that tax writeoff on your camera and lens. Just asking for a friend . . .

I am not a professional so cannot do that. Just a comment for all those on here who always suggest the most expensive stuff when somebody asks. Okay to say YOU use RRS but without a comment as to whether it is a tax writeoff the suggestions become way less useful to the average punter.

Due to the laws of physics, mechanics, and material science, the materials which make up the product are far more important than either size or weight. A rock is not always better than a stone.

"Far more important" - I think NOT - equally important - maybe..... Yes, I know this justifies paying RRS prices ......for some

I think you will find that RRS make theirs out of the same material ALL the rest do.
The weight is entirely dependent upon size, thickness etc. I doubt that RRS make theirs any different. Some manfs make their products with various holes in them to reduce the weight but it would be very unusual for this to reduce the rigidity.
That leaves size. This is important. I have clamps/plates from 25mm to 150mm used for different purposes.
