Q: 6. What tripod would you recommend with this lens as well as a Gimbal?

A: For use with a gimbal, we'd always recommend slightly taller since when aimed skyward, the working eye-level of your camera is lowered. Too low of a tripod and you'd have to bend forward to use. I'd recommend a series 3 or 4 systematic-style tripod from Robus, Gitzo, Induro, RRS, etc. for use with a gimbal like the Wimberley WH200 https://bhpho.to/3ow9kMh or Gitzo fluid gimbal head (may also be used quite well with spotting scopes) https://bhpho.to/3sfbmmi.

Q: 7. Has Anyone who owns this lens found a good quality plate that fits well?
