[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 648512, member: 10742"] Tripods and heads are rated based on the maximum weight of the camera/lens that will sit on them. Start with those spec's and you'll eliminate about 1/2 the universe... More weight the combo can handle, means more money... Manufacturers try to eliminate tripod weight by using composites which drives the prices up further... Put your heaviest camera/lens together with a few filters and remote triggers and weigh it, and use that as your base requirement... [/QUOTE]
