If it's traveling light for BIF that you want the last thing you want is a tripod, Take your D7100 (or equivalent) and your Tamron/Sigma 150-600mm, set it to 1/2000 at F9 auto ISO, AF-C, D21 max FPS and go out and shoot birds in flight.... I go out with a over the shoulder back pack type bag on my bicycle with only the Tamron on the body in it and a spare battery. I keep it simple.
The more gear you have the more kerfuffle you make setting it up......quietly,stealthily, and softly softly catchy monkey!
Hand-holding is no big deal and produces the most interesting photos!
