Question Tripod advice for 5D Mk II
Hi
I'm looking for a tripod for my 5D Mk II the heaviest lens I have in my bag is the 24-105.

I want this tripod to be as small and portable as possible so I can fit it in or strap to a backpack.

Any suggestions/recommendations?

Thanks
Phil

I have the Smith-Victor CF300 Tripod with BH-5 Ball Head. I like it real well. It's Carbon Fiber which is light but strong. It about the smallest that I found that can hold the weight of the 5D MkII whith out issues.
