If you want to carry it along with you more like daily, you shouldn't get a one which is relatively heavy. For example, tripod by itself 2kg, head 1kg, camera+lens+grip+flash 2.5kg...., what do you think?
Ball head is more like one-click action for easier and faster handling, yet classic 3-way head is good for individual pan/tilt action if horizontal and vertical levels are important/critical (better with bubble levels too). Flip lock is also design for easier and faster action, yet it might loosen over high usage and need tuning; twist action could be more secure and durable cuz you just need to hand tight it as much as you need to. Also depends on the style of the flip lock design, some are a little less obtrusive some are not, which twist style is usually more compact (no extra parts sticking out) for easier storage.
Max height is another issue to be considered. The higher it can go, the more expensive and the heavier it could be.  |
