Hi there,
I'm currently looking for a new tripod, and right now I'm tending towards the TVC-24L.
I want to mainly use it with my 5Diii and probably mostly with the 24-70mm and 70-200mm. At most a 300mm lens for
shooting landscape, nature, some long exposures, and lot of hiking/trekking
I initially wanted to get the TVC-33 because I also have a 500mm/f4 which I use for aviation photography (handheld),
although I might use it once or twice a year on the tripod do shoot wildlife (right now I don't) I figured the additional
weight is not worth it as I'm hiking 20 times more, and it's a lot more to carry around.
So the compromise would be the TVC-24L which would be suitable for my purpose, and if I really need
to use the 500mm once on a tripod, I might change it, but I think it is a wiser start than the TVC-33.
I compared a lot of tripods, also the Gitzos, settled for the TVC-24L because I can use it at eye level and
because the 2series RRS seem to be a bit sturdier than the Gitzo:

1. what do you think about my choice? does it make sense?
2. I did not chose a ballhead yet, although nice, the BH-55 seems to be a bit overkill (weight), any suggestions?
(Arca Swiss Cube would be my choice, but that's simply too expensive
Thanks a lot for your input!
