Just look for weight ratings for legs and heads on the manufacturers' websites and match it to the combined weight of your body and lens. Leave a good margin. Look at Giotto's or Manfrotto if you're sensible with money (voluntarily or by necessity) or Gitzo and Feisol if your pockets are deep.

And it's tripod with an "i", by the way
