Q: 1. If one get this version with ball heads like BH-40, does it becomes very bulky? There are many reviews.

A: The BH-40 is a bulky ball head and will add around an extra pound of weight. However, it is one of the best ball heads you can get. If you're looking to keep it as light as possible, I would suggest buying the integrated ball head variant of the Ascend. If you don't mind the extra pound, I think the BH-40 head would be an amazing combination, especially if you have some heavier lenses.

Q: 2. Im a birding photographer and looking for a travel tripod..How well would this tripod work with a Wimberley 200 + Nikon Z9 + 1.4 ext + 500 MM F4 FL ED VR lens, about 15lbs? Any other recommendations?
