Title: Help me to choose tripod and head?
Post by: andreagenor on February 23, 2012, 10:37:30 am

Hi, I need help.
I am looking a new tripod.
I'm looking this combination.

Do you know if this combination is good to support Mamiya RZ + Motor Winder + Prims Finder + Leaf Aptus + LGrip + PocketWizard + 180mm lens and lens hood at same time?

Sorry my bad English.

It would support an 8x10 view camera. I think it will handle your RZ. I just hope you can handle it.

I'd go for this one instead. It will handle your RZ (load capacity 26lbs) and it has quick release telescoping legs, which means that you don't have to fiddle with each leg individually, just squeeze the levers(under the tripod head) and you can move one or all three legs up and down.
