Tripod Suggestion for D850

[jpwild]

So, I've gone and bought a D850 (upgrading from my D810) and 200-500 lens with Gitzo monopod, but I'm also seeking a landscape soloution to hike with.

I'm thinking of getting the 35MM 1.8G lens and wondering if I can have some advice on tripod and ball head

I use to have the Gitzo GT3542 LS which was amazing, but wondering if there are cheaper solutions that don't weight much above 2KG. and 2.5kg considering ballhead? Was thinking benro or Manfrotto, but so many to choose from.

Cheap, light, or good - choose 2.
This is pretty much all you can say about tripods.

Get another Gitzo..

Manfrotto wise I have a 190go that I really like, it's fairly strong, fairly light and holds decent weight.

The carbon fibre version might be ideal?

Supposed to hold 7kg so should be fine for D850 and 200-500.

I've been very impressed by Benro tripods and heads. Here's a link to a review I did of their TMA28C and B1 ballhead;

You used to have one of the best solutions with your 3542ls. As to lighter, for shorter lenses a used Gitzo GT2531/2541 would do very nicely. For cheaper look on the used market, you have had a Gitzo, you will be disappointed with the alternatives..............

Just my 2p.
