Good luck with the new lens. The camera looks like it controls the contrast incredibly well too. I do have one criticism though of the lens from the last image (only). It looks like there is a fringe at the edge between the mountain and the sky. I dont know it you use Lightroom, but it will remove that.
Rather than a tripod, I found using a strong monopod, with a decent ball friction head worked best for me with longer lenses The friction from the ball in the head, just holding it, to allow me to move the lens and camera up and down (with the monopod allowing me the rotation).
Either way, a decent and sturdy head will be just as important as the tripod (or monopod).
