Which one do you recommend?
Re: "Also recommend the PeakDesign Carbon Fiber tripod..." - honestly that PD one is super slick but the price is just wild! I went through a whole journey trying to find the perfect legs for my R5 Mark II without going broke. I used to think you had to spend Gitzo money for stability but i've found some fantastic alternatives that work just as well for way less cash! I've been using the Benro Mach3 9X Carbon Fiber Series 2 Tripod lately and love it! The build quality is amazing and it handles my heavy RF lenses with zero issues. When I compared it to the more expensive brands, the vibration damping was basically identical. Its such a solid, methodical piece of gear. Here's why i've moved toward these budget brands:
Gitzo Traveler Series (e.g., GT2545TUS)
I’ve been researching tripods for the Canon EOS R5 Mark II and recommend considering the Manfrotto Befree Advanced. Its combination of durability, stability, and portability make it perfect for both indoor and outdoor shoots. It offers a smooth panning head and a solid build, ensuring reliable performance for photography setups.
Lol I was literally about to post the same thing. Glad someone else brought it up.
