I have a few longer hikes (for me) this year, and I am looking at my options to lighten my load for those. One possible area is tripods and tripod heads. I currently have a regular and lightweight setup (pictured below), my regular setup weighs 6.65lbs and my lightweight setup weighs 3.17lbs. I have never used my lightweight setup with my technical camera in anything other than ideal conditions, and was hoping to get some feedback on whether or not it is too lightweight to rely on in the field. Also, if it is too lightweight, is there a good alternative.
Thanks in advance,
Greg
