Hello.
I'm trying to figure out what tripod to buy, and honestly, I'm completely blank.
I'm not sure what I need and what the best options are, so I'm looking for some advise on what I need and what to buy.

I'm shooting with a 7D + 70-200 f2.8. Since I have the 7D, I've tried shooting a few videos aswell, but without proper support they dont come out too stable. I'll need to be able to use the tripod for shooting videos aswell, which means it must let me pan/change the angle of the camera.
For photography use it just has to be stable. Weight is not so much of an issue, but of course ligther is better.

What is out there for me? What kinda tripod do I need? Is a ball head the way to go or do I need a video head?
