[QUOTE="Danno, post: 648500, member: 34269"] I have a Vanguard Altra Pro 264 AT. I like the legs and it is pretty solid, but I did not like the ball head that came with it. It seemed to slip just a bit. I got the whole rig on sale and a few months in I bought a used Arca Swiss Head and an inexpensive gimble head. The ARCA Swiss is rock solid and the Gimble balances out and does fine tracking birds from my porch. It works well with my D7200 and 200-500 f 5.6 Nikon. My suggestion is to get the most expensive tripod you can afford and look at capacity and make sure it exceeds you heaviest setup. Everyone told me that and I couldn't part with the cash. I am sure you will get a lot of suggestions today. [/QUOTE]
