Hi,

I am trying to justify the cost of buying a Sachtler two stage DV 6 over a one stage tripod. It will mostly be used for both wedding and also promotional videos, so very different settings.

Has anyone had experience of both? Is a two stage tripod worth the extra $500?

Also, would you recommend I get seperate, cheaper legs instead of a kit? If so, what would you get?

The tripod will be used with the EX1 - I did consider the FSB 6, but thought it might not support the weight of the EX1 with BU60 battery, lights and mics.
