What tripod do you use and aren't many identical?

Re: What tripod do you use and aren't many identical?

One of the extra benefits of M43 is the lightness of everything. Most "quality" tripods aren't actually "quality". Instead they are built  robust enough to support, say, a Nikon with a 600mm telephoto, or in other words about four M43 cameras with equivalent lenses.

With smaller, lighter M43s much less expensive tripods are completely adequate at a fraction of the premium-brand price tags. At my photo store, which featured tripods up to AUD$600, I found a AUD$59 one that works perfectly for bird photography.

I also found the 1KG Joby Gorillapod completely adequate: my Olympus PenF and 150-300 zoom come to just over 820gm. This model costs way less than the "suggested" 3kg model.
