new tripod time :banana1: Im really looking to carry this with me in one of my bags...so Im looking for something...compact in a sense and can hold a 50D and 5D MarkII ( soon ) with a 70-200 IS L ( soon )

some people think Im crazy for spending 300-500 on a tripod but when it comes to having 4000 investment sitting on top of it..I rather be safe than sorry ( plus I want it to be light to carry around )


should I get a

A) Benro C-069 with ball head
