Gitzo Sytematic Series 3, w/ FLM 38FT head, set up with Arca Swiss compatible accessories, i.e. plates on cameras, e.g. Really Right Stuff L-bracket on my Fujifilm X-Pro2.
IMO, a lighter camera especially begs for a sturdy tripod (and/or extra weight hung from the apex).
Over the years, I've always tried to use a tripod when it made sense. Case in point: At the moment, I'm scanning negs for an old friend with whom I used to wander with our medium format cameras (both Mamiyas) more than thirty years ago. I always used a tripod; he didn't. Arguably, he had the better eye ... but, compared to mine, his negs are soft.
