I'm looking for something that would be able to handle the weight of my 70-200 f/2.8 and sturdy enough to take the weight of something larger if/when I get into the bigger telephoto lenses. I'd like to get something that has a good balance for stability and weight. I know these are going against each other, but for me they are probably 50/50 in terms of importance to me. Appreciate your thoughts.
