So my tripod (Vortex STX) weighs 4lbs 12oz, and my pistol grip ball head (Vanguard-100) weighs in at 1 lb 10.5 oz.
Not gonna lie. You're not going to catch me packing my 6lb 6.6oz tripod in the backcountry. I've been making a huge effort to downsize lately and I just don't need this heavy of a tripod anymore. I used to use it for long range shooting with a huge spotter or to shoot off of and it was great.
Considering selling everything and just going with a lightweight tripod for binos, and possibly picking up a Vortex Razor 50mm or something similar.
What would you recommend for an affordable but light backcountry tripod for the aformentioned purpose?
Which head would you run?
Thanks!
