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