I'm looking for a tripod with no center column, that is sturdy enough for a Sigma 60-600, and yet is easy to clean (after using in water or sand).
Can someone give me a pointer towards the right direction to look? I'm guessing I should start with Gitzo? Also, I'm almost 6ft tall so no short ones. I'm hoping to get something for less than $600, but maybe that is dreaming?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I have a Uniloc tripod that's perfect in mud, sand, & water. From their website: If your normal tripod takes forever to set-up, you need one of our fast set-up solid tripods. The lower sections are fully sealed with spiked feet (toe-point) and can be immersed in mud and water. Non-slip rubber feet are included with each tripod for indoor use." Once I'd watched a video on how to set it up, I found it fast and easy to use. Uniloc is an improvement on the original BenBo Tripod (Bent Bolt).
