For macro?
Usually for macro you go with a focusing rail, especially for high magnification macro. So a tripod that is sturdy enough to handle the gear and a good head. There are literally thousands of combinations and dozens of threads about tripod choice. Personally I use
Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 legs and the
Acratech ball head. But there are many choices. Then you need a
focusing rail, mine is a very old Pentax one but they are easy to find.
The focusing rail moves the lens closer by very tiny movements and you do not refocus after each shot. So you end up with a 'stack' of photos each with a tiny slice of the subject in focus. This then gets combined in software.
