Jan,
I object to your description of my Benbo Trekker as WIMPY..
:-)). Seriously it is very good for macro, will easily do low level shots,
Will take my Fuji GS 645, and will hold my Olympus with 300mm lens,
(although I usually hang my camera bag on the tripod for added stability.)
Big plus point is that it is LIGHTER than the Benbo 1....good for hiking..

> I have a Benbo #1 and a Trekker. The #1 would certainly handle a 400/4. I
use it regularly with the Zuiko 600 and a Tamron 300/2.8, as well as with a
Linhof Super Technika 4"x5" field camera.
> The Trekker is pretty wimpy, though. It's fine for anything up to 180/2.8,
barely adequate for a 300/4.5.
