can anyone recomend a tripod for my canon slr and sigma 120 - 400 os hsm lens which is quite heavy. Also a camera bag that will carry this camera and 3 lens and usual bits and pieces, im finding most bags are too small for such a big lens.
thankyou
Manfrotto 190 Xpro B and RC485 pan and tilt head + Lowepro Rover II all weather camera rucsac with space for jacket and butties.

I use a Manfrotto 055 ProB as well to support my Sigma 120-300f2.8 but I use a 322rc2 trigger grip ball head opposed to the other heads metioned here.
As for a Bag I use the Lowero Vertex 100 AW which comfortably accomodates lens and camera made up plus a couple of other lenses and a couple of flashes as well as all the other bits and pieces...Its very comfortable to carry and you can strap the tripod on the back as well.
In all honesty though your probably best get some ideas from here and find a Camera Shop that stocks your shortlist so you can take your kit along and see what works best for you.
I got my head wrong, I use an 804 RC2 standard pan and tilt which is very sturdy and a pleasure to use if a little heavy.
..got the tripod right though.....
Thanks for all your replies i will now view these ideas in my local camera shop
Regards
