This was a great video but I could use more information. I’m planning on taking some vacation in Florida and Arizona which will require a bit of hiking. I’m 65 so weight will be a concern and I’m also 6′ 4″ so tripod height is another, Having the camera at eye level is nice. I’m not sure I want to carry the tall Gizzo like you had in the video and I’m not really sue about the MeFoto or 3LeggedThing tripods. Do you have any more details to share? Plus I’ve read the articles that say you’ll end up with the $1000.00 models eventually so don’t waste your money? I’m using a Bogen 3021 in aluminum currently.
Hi, Rick. Thanks for your question! It’s hard to give individualized advice on gear or equipment since they are such personal purchases and depend heavily on your own individual budget and needs. The best thing you can do would be to visit a camera store to discuss your individual needs with one of their professional sales people. Good luck!
