Joby 5K ?

[plloydie]

I am looking for a tripod for macro photography "in the field" I sometimes use a beanbag for low down shots but looking for something that I could mount the camera on for subjects a little higher up or on tree branches or awkward places. I have come across the Joby 5k which should be ok for a D850 + sigma 105mm, is this a good option or are there others I have missed.? Can I mount my Manfrotto ballhead to the Joby tripod? At the mo the Joby website has the tripod at £65 which according to them is 47% off list.

I'm a big fan of the baby Benro BAT 03C - bought two (one for me and one for my son - got my sons on a black Friday deal) - not as cheap but very well made and decent ball head - legs fold up as well as out so can get it into creative positions. Should have no issies with a D850+Lens

Not good in trees though!
