[QUOTE="Jonathan, post: 271762, member: 17183"] I am 6'5" and have some quite heavy kit. I now have two tripods - a heavy, solid one for everyday use and a more lightweight one for travel. So far I have only ever used the former. I also have a monopod which is always with me in my rucksack. I don't know what is important to you in a tripod/head but I wanted sturdiness and large and small movement to track things easily as they move. I also didn't want to have to bend. My main tripod is a Velbon DV-6000 with a Manfrotto 410 head. My lightweight rig is a hama Traveller Compact Pro with a ball-mounted head included. There is a hook on the centre pole to allow me to hang heavy objects to make it sturdier. From memory I believe it is also reversibly for macro shots. The monopod is a Velbon ultra stick L50. I selected these three from online reviews on Amazon (latter two) and testing (the former) in my local camera shop. [/QUOTE]
