I'm looking for advice on a light weight tripod to support a 4x5 field
camera for use while hiking and traveling. Any suggestions would be
appreciated. -- John Lapp

I like my Reis J100 with the J250 double tilt Head. I use it for my 8x10
camera without problems as well as with the smaller cameras I own.
Has interchangeable threads so you can mount 1/4 -20 or 3/8 socketed
cameras. I like wood pods for a number of reasons-chief being wintertime
use.
