I bought a tripod setup specifically for backpacking last year. After much debate, I ended up with a Gitzo GT0531 and RRS BH-25. Love the combo...super light. Only change I would have made is to get the BH-30 for the panning. Took it on a 6 day backpacking trip in Glacier NP. Got the L plate as well...that is a must.
