In general in areas or times of the year where it will be windy I have either shot earlier or much later in the day as the winds tend to be strongest in the afternoon, and or looked for a wall or boulder or other object to block the wind as much as possible. Regardless of the load capacity of a tripod its ability to provide stability when it is windy requires something along the lines of video tripods from Sachtler. I purchased this rifle new several years ago. In windy areas it pays to have a tripod with a hook under the head so you can attach a camera bag or backpack or a sandbag.

I see 600/4’s on 3 series tripods all the time. I feel with the 600/4, the 4 series is plenty of tripod, but if my largest lens was the 200-600, the 4 and 5 series tripods would be overkill. If your maximum lens size is the 200-600, I feel a series 3 tripod is more than adequate.

The 4 series tripods share the 3 series spider, and I found it much more comfortable to carry. The 5 series uses a larger spider assembly, and with the larger tubes, it was actually so big, it was uncomfortable/awkward to carry on my shoulder, and I’m not small at 6’-4”. The 5 series was simply too massive for me. I had a GT5533LS, but wound up sending it back for a GT4533LS. I’ve got a Canon rig with a 600/4, and a Sony rig with the 200-600. I would choose the 4 series as it is strong enough for most purposes and not so heavy as the 5 series, especially after you add a leveling base, gimbal head, etc. The other lenses don't require a 5 series unless you are in a very high wind, and your subjects would be moving in that case. That lens is rather lightweight and I find it works well with the a7r IV and a gimbal head on a 3 series Gitzo, but that was at 1/125-1/2000 for wildlife.

This British black powder cartridge was first produced in 1867. If there were such a thing as huge game calibers, the seven cartridges listed below would qualify. However, there are some cartridges so intimidatingly large that the guns they are used in are simply referred to as “stopping rifles.” These firearms shoot projectiles designed to stop a wild animal in its charge with a single bullet. Usually a hunter’s choice is dependent upon personal preference and whether or not a round can humanely kill an animal. One popular subject of debate among hunters is which cartridge is best for a specific game species.
