Really Right Stuff Long Tripod (Best of the best) I think it's out of stock at the moment but you could probably get your order in so it ships as soon as it's back in stock.
Really Right Stuff BH40 with Quick Release lever (This is the exact Ballhead that I use)
Gitzo Systematic Tripod XL This is my current tripod but I will buy the Really Right Stuff tripod mentioned above next time around since the price difference is minimal and RRS will probably last longer. My Gitzo really does not like getting wet and I have had at least 54 of the rubber grips come off.
L Bracket for Canon R5/R6 This L Bracket is designed for the R5 and R6 but it will probably work for the R5ii as long as they don't make any major changes to the side of the camera body. It can take quite a long time for L-brackets to come out for new camera models.
