My first question: are you sure your mother will be happy to wait until you finished manual focus macro shots including waiting for the wind to stop blowing?
My second question: have you thought about setting up three legs and head? Or is this monopod with damped tiny legs as well a possibility? <a class="bbc_url" href="https://www.manfrotto.de/xpro-video-monopod-alu-4-seg-mit-fluid-base">https://www.manfrotto.de/xpro-video-monopod-alu-4-seg-mit-fluid-base</a>
It's quicker set up and maybe the single leg leaves you more freedom to move the camera instead of turning the focus ring all the time?
Almost forgot. There are copies of that damped leg by Sirui. Having a Sirui tripod, I need to add, handling and stability is not as good as Gitzo. But I wanted one with seals, to be able to put it into the water and the ocean series of Gitzo is just madness.
