I found a 'kit' at discount that included the tripod and head... This setup has four sections and will fit in a checked airline suitcase. When I am out and about I normally just carry it in my hand without a bag or strap... camera not attached when moving. With a payload of 5 kg (the head is rated for 6 kg) the tripod will accommodate my Mamiya RB67 in a pinch but the ground glass camera really needs a three way head for ease of composition. I would definitely recommend carbon fiber if you are moving about... if it's too heavy you will leave it home.
