Based on my finances, for my HVX I narrowed down my tripod search to either the Sachtler FSB 6
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/498221-REG/Sachtler_0443_0443_FSB_6_Aluminum_Tripod.html
and the Manfrotto519 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/348827-REG/Bogen_Manfrotto_519_525PKIT_525MVB_Tripod_Legs_Bla ck_.html

The prices are nearly the same (519 being $85 cheaper)
Which one would be the better choice? And is there a better option for a tripod for $1500 max? Any advice?

The Sachtler is MUCH better.
