Hi,

Bit of advice needed please!

Currently shooting with a D7000, normally paired with an 18-200 mm lens or a 35mm 1.8G. Will probably shell out for a 70 - 300mm in time, but it will be mainly for sport so might not be as relevant for a tripod discussion?
Looking to get a tripod to shoot with and am looking for suggestions.
Budget would be in the region of £100 for the tripod, and then probably around £50 to £100 for the head (budget is a bit flexible but don't want to rag it too much!).
Have done a bit of research an know that the Manfrotto's are probably a good bet, but the tripods at this price might be a bit lightweight to handle the camera / lens combo that I am shooting with?

Any advice appreciated...

Thanks,

Hugh
