I have a fairly good tripod (a Slik butI can't remember the model number) which has a pan-tilt head.
The problem is that it's difficult to keep long lenses level. The longest I have a 80-320 zoom and the front end of the lens sags when mounted on the tripod and left along. Is there some decent solution e.g. would it help to use a ballhead? I don't want to spend several hundred dollars either. Suggestions will be much appreciated. Cheers, Gautam
