I'd recommend using a L bracket on your camera and going with a ballhead that is Arca Swiss compatible. That way you avoid the whole twisting issue and having to tighten the plates excessively. Hope you guys made it through the recent storm OK -- used to live in Snellville before moving to Europe.
I have the SIRUI AT 125 I use mine with a gimble head with my 150- 450 wildlife lens . I also have the Geekoto travel tripod mine is the aluminum one with a capacity of 14 pounds and it does convert to a monopod it is heavier than the Sirui but the price was under $100.00. The AT 125 is the better tripod it is much lighter and has a heavier capacity much better for backpacking.
When you press and it went down.. you safe my day! Thank you !

The gamble head on the AT 125 sounds like a cool idea. I will have to try that out. Thanks for sharing.
