Hi Jabbermack Thanks for your reply the monopod looked a useful addition especially when in a bird hide with very little room to put a tripod. I will certainly have a look at the shoulder pads.

Many thanks for your replies

Has anyone used this tripod ? Looking to get one with feet for a bit more stability. Will be using it with Canon 7d Mk I and Sigma 150-600? Have not seen it in person only on internet and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your replies food for thought.

I currently have the Sigma 150-500 and thinking of buying the 600 but not sure which would be best. Currently photograph birds so weight wise the Contemp might be best but could use aGimbal head with the sport. Will be using Canon 7d mk2. Any help would be appreciated

I have just bought aBenro GH3 and have found this very good with my Gitzo tripod.The lens I use is a Sigma 150-500.Hope this might help

Thanks for your replies narrowed it down to a Benro but not sure whether GH2or pay the extra for the 3?

I have a Sigma 150- 500 lens and want to look at getting aGimbal head ,there seems to so many different ones with a wide price range. Would be using it for photographing birds . Tips for purchasing would be helpful

I have a Canon 60d and have a Sigma 150-500 would anyone recommend using either a 1.4 or 2 extender?I photograph mainly birds and wildlife and someone advised against them.

Can anyone recommend a carrying bag for a Gitzo tripod and head. Needs to be a realistic price ?:)

Budget would have to include everything so say £200 to £300
