[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 548297, member: 25183"] I've only just started considering tripods not that I have pretty much the same lens/camera combo as yourself. This Slik 700DX tripod looks like it would fit the bill for me too both in terms of specifications and price point. A gimbal head though is currently beyond my budget. I can get the Slik pro 700dx on amazon for £113 with a Pan and Tilt head which looks to be rated for 15lb [url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000K6ZTDC/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1TWO46JA5C0VS&coliid=I1XG5JEK77PBP1&psc=1]SLIK PRO 700DX COMPLETE: Amazon.co.uk: Camera & Photo[/url], so should be sufficient for my needs. Do you have any experience of using this head or did you buy the tripod on its own? I really don't know if this pan and tilt head would be suitable for me, shooting almost exclusively wildlife? If not a suitable type of head for wildlife, would it be well suited to use on a monopod to give me the added flexibility?
