So one advantage to the smaller bodies and lenses is you can use a much smaller tripod. I have a 1k gorilla pod, meaning it can handle 1 kg of weight. It's super light and you can get a head that allows horizontal panning.

Also with the smaller bodies you can get a grip with an L bracket and the weight is still not that bad. This is also good for low light photography when you need longer shutter speeds.

The other thing is make sure you have a good bit rate. In my non-pro experience, 1080p with a higher bit rate has often looked nicer than downscaled 4k with a lower bit rate.

The problem with any kind of tripod, is toddlers

They move a lot, not specifically in a straight line. I want to be able to run after them, move a lot, etc.

I didn't notice my X-T20 let you change bit-rate, will check again. What would be a good bitrate to follow?

4K kinda overheat the X-T20, so I rarely use it anyhow.
