For my 300mm I use a heavy tripod which I am happy to lug around my local wildlife patch or strap to my push bike for longer trips. For this year I have bought a £50 travel tripod which seems quite sturdy for low level work which I hope will be ideal for butterfly and insect shots. My main bugbear with the heavy tripod is its legs getting tangled in the long meadow grass.
