Advice on carrying a video tripod on a bicycle, please I wonder whether there is anyone who carries a video tripod (Manfrotto 525 - 75mm bowl head) on their bike, rather than a dslr tripod. The thing is that although I use a DSLR camera for my filming, I am often using long lenses and accessories such as monitors, lens hood, lights, etc and I need a sturdier tripod. DSLR tripods just don't cut it for the kind of work I do.
I like the mobility of a bike as I can be anywhere so quickly, but I would like to be able to carry a video tripod. I have seen some people using a pannier rack but I wonder whether a video tripod would be too much?
Any advice would be immensely appreciated.


Regards
Sam
Racks have load ratings, and high-quality racks may be rated for 30–40 kg loads. Your tripod should be well within those limits.
How you attach it is another story, and you may need to get creative. A longtail cargo bike might be a better bet if you're routinely hauling long lenses and tripods.
