Suggestion for a light, but tall, tripod
#10
I became aware that no matter how rigid or stiff a tripod is, there's always a reaction to shutter and mirror slap of DSLR. Touch your tripod and release the shutter, you will feel it. We can work aroud with mirror up and cable release, but this is minimising the problem. It doesn't disappear and depending on lens and sensor resolution it can become visible. Weight capacity of a tripod can be 40 kg, I still can see the effect in only 4 m distance by mounting a laser pointer on the hotshoe.


What I like to say, with DSLRs stabilty of tripods is a fairytale and we still believe a lot of old legends. For your case, stoppingdown, a high enough tripod also needs some space on the ground. Hope, the path you will be walkiing is big enough. Imagining the wall I would say the tripod should have some legs to spread horizontally, or a column you can turn from vertical direction to horizontal. But the latter is a very swinging thing...
