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).

Thank you.
Yes, I am using Lightroom. I adjusted the sky to bring it out as it was bleached white.
The fringe was initially horrendous but adjusted it to the level you can see now.
I'll have another crack at it to see if I can reduce it any further.
The tripod I have is a good quality manfrotto. It's fine for keeping the camera still enough to take an imagine at slower speeds, but I couldn't use it for long exposure or very low light.
I think I'll need to go back to the camera shop and see if I can look at anything else.

Thanks Jeff. Yes, it's mounted to the lens.
