I want to park this beast on its own tripod & head. Recommendations?

I like video fluid heads - I have the manfro 502 but think you will need bigger/better - https://www.ebay.com/itm/333663325165
I like a tilting/leveling base - https://www.ebay.com/itm/225418993381?hash=item347c04dee5:g:ET8AAOSwwhZj6ax5&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoD5SciqtGNJsN32sq18FXlbgZaS4QUmjJ%2Fsn36XRirR36B%2BTlv4Wfpl56e79uCVbXex2DCe%2FhyUwmuatIoseAICjgAR1XmKAkOeAEamPK8M1yswHjJoxdXTE%2FYsMDNVHYDJZuwctvRsOfT9nD%2BXYi7PYB7Yd2LkbRgZ0JWH%2F5fTpkS8xhQ6d1utaRTL10x8xIsxhJlRwcsYmPWs68WVMOFs%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-yF59HJYQ
I like using a support bracket - https://www.ebay.com/itm/203015844543
Most would say you need 40mm top tube legs but I think this 36mm is lighter/easier to manage - https://www.ebay.com/itm/255494003447
If for some reason you need to go a little higher this will be handy - https://www.ebay.com/itm/255494003447

Tripods are really a matter of personal preference. But for that lens, think heavy duty and sturdy. I use an Induro 4 series for my beast of a Minolta 600/4. I also use a Manfrotto 393 Gimbal head. This is a rock solid combo, but not one I like to carry on my back for long distances. Then again, I am not lugging that lens around for great distances either. That's what a jogging stroller is for. LOL
