What is "ultra light tripod" in your understanding? What is "tele zoom" in your case - 70-300 f4-5,6 or 70-200 f/2,8?
For me this tripod works acceptable on 7d & EF300 f/4L:
english.benro.cn/CpListCC.aspx?ParaId=0&id=82&ProductId=814
I know, Benro is Chinese, but at least the above model is far more robust, has better functionality and was significantly cheaper than my previous Gitzo 1227II - broken, apparently for no other reason than exposing it some time ago to -20C and probably bad manufacturing of a certain part.
Both Benro (linked above) and Gitzo are carbon fibre tripods and, of course, are not cheap tripods.
