That thing is fairly small and there are no tables in the bush. I'm in the process of thinking about a new tripod but I can't see myself spending $1000 for a Gitso and ballhead because I don't work from a tripod very often. If I did then they would be my choice.
I'm thinking a second hand Manfrotto with a standard tilt&pan would suffice. All the damn thing has to do is hold the camera still?
