Thanks a lot for your suggestions. Can you seggest a very light but
reliable tripod for my Sony FX7, please?

I remember you:
my travels are peculiar and particular. In my travels often I am short
of breath, I have to make shots after a run, I often do everything in
a rush. I have always a little time .... etc
Often when I use the wide angle I get shaky images.
I am afraid Manfrotto monopod is insufficient for me even if I can use
it like a tripod, but I think in some circumstaces only.
Perhaps will a very light tripod be better fot me?
Can you seggest a interesting tripod for me?
Thanks for your suggestions.
