I am considering a new travel tripod. I have done some searching here and elsewhere and found different tidbits. What I am considering is the Gitzo GT1541. I would use it primarily with my RRS BH-55. I have a cube but usually use that with my non-travel pod. The question I have is the sturdy factor with the Medium Format gear that most on this forum are quite familiar with.
The obvious other factors is the folded length, weight, and for me minimal height for getting those nice wildflowers. Since i am not that tall, full extension height is not too much of an issue for me.
Are there some less expensive alternatives. I have read bits about the "off" or less popular brands but have little experience on their reliability etc.
THanks for any input. Mark
