Tripod is the only accessory which always offer stable results. I am having carbon fiber tripod. i purchased carbon fiber because of lightweight. Carbon fiber tripod is best for traveling purpose and for still photography. Mostly I use this Proaim tripod for bird photography. Its bowl head is 75 mm and It came with fluid head which is free with tripod and spreader was also free.
Aluminum tripod is more stronger than carbon fiber tripod but if we compare the price, aluminum tripods are cheap.
Recently i purchasedCamtree Pilot shoulder rig and it is very solid and very comfortable.
