Lightweight tripod and head for small Red set ups, b-cam and Freefly movi controller

[Eirik Nicolai Heim]

Hi,

I am looking for a lightweight tripod and head, that can handle a stripped Red Epic set up (brain, media, v-batts, Canon L-lenses and monitor). I work a lot in the wilderness and do a lot of hiking in the mountains. I also do a lot of drone work, and I am in need of a much lighter tripod to carry along for building set-ups for Freefly Movi and Alta, and also for the movi controller with link.

Any suggestions?

I have a Manfrotto 504 and sticks for sale

Go with Benro, great price to performance. Lighter and still supports 17.6lbs. I love mine.

Thanks for the tip. Looks nice enough and 5 kgs are not bad.
I was actually checking this out as well:

I know 4kg payload is not much, but it could work?
It will work for everything else I am considering this tripod for.

I have a heavy duty tripod with a nice head for all other kinds of stuff I am doing.
