patrick_e Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I would appreciate any recommendations for a lightweight tripod, for use with a Canon 7d, that will be easy to travel with and is also easy / quick to set up. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnw63 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 <p>How light weight ? How much are you willing to spend ? What LENSES do you plan on putting on your 7d ? ( Basically, how much weight is it going to have to hold ? )</p> <p>Those are three things you MUST know before making a tripod selection.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catchlight Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 <p>I have one of these and like it quite well. It's held a 5D MkII and 70-200/2.8 without problems, with a lightweight Acratech ballhead.</p> <p>http://www.feisol.net/rapid-tripods-elite-tripods-c-1_10.html</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_major Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 <p>I bought the Feisol CT-3342 here: <br> <a href="http://reallybigcameras.com/Feisol/Tournament_Class.htm">http://reallybigcameras.com/Feisol/Tournament_Class.htm</a></p> <p>this Fall and use it w/my Mamiya RB67 Pro-S for my hiking and travel (essentially *everything* for me!!!).</p> <p>It's simply amazing - especially for the price tag. I use it in conjunction with a Manfrotto 496-rc2 ballhead which is OK for now, one day i'd like to upgrade to a Really Right Stuff BH-40 for my 'light-weight' kit.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
