Would appreciate advice for a tripod and ballhead that are lightweight and compact. This is primarily for flower photography, so it needs to be able to get close to the ground. Sometimes I'll travel with it. Primarily I'll use my PZ-1p and FA 100mm. f2.8 macro on it - a rather heavy combination.
I've been attracted by the Benbo Trecker, but have seen reports that its ballhead can slip under heavy weight. Anyone tried it? Cost is a consideration.
