Hi all. I was recently shooting for HDR images using a cheap tripod and I didn't get much! lol. I am looking for a heavy duty tripod and quick release plate. I want to start shooting a lot of HDR and night shots. I have a Rebel EOS XSi and I often use my 580exII as well with my 10-22, 58-250 and kit lense. Any advise is greatly appreciated!

What sort of budget?
I always recommend my Manfrotto 055XPROB and 488RC2 head, its a tad heavy to carry all day but lovely and sturdy.

Thats exactly what I have stumbled upon in my further research! Seems like a great way to go and seems like it makes using a tripod easier and less stressful!
