A question to any forum members who have the Peak Design carbon fibre travel tripod. Have you tried using it with big lenses?
I was out today and had my R5 with the RF 100-500mm lens, I attached the tripod plate to the lens collar and fitted it to the tripod, despite tightening the dial as much as I could it was clear to see the lens was moving slightly, it wasn't stable at all.
I experimented with bringing the centre column down as much as possible but it still didn't seem to make any difference.
It's rated for 20lbs weight and this setup is well within that, I bought this tripod due to it's portability but that's no good if it's not very usable.
