No, IMHO. At least, it's not much good with an 85-250. The Trekker is
okay if you don't extend it too far, but the centre column does tend to be
a bit wobbly. OTOH, the flexibilty is wonderful - you can put in places no
other tripod can reach, but sometimes it does feel as though you're
wrestling with a set of bagpipes ;-) If you can carry the bigger one, I'd
go for it. I have the Uni-Loc version, and that's pretty rigid.
