Best Tripod for under $500?

[lawriejaffa]

Yep i know its pretty lame right, asking what the best tripod u'd recommend for under $500 for the HVX200... I know your gonna say 'but u cant get a camera like that and use a tripod for less than a $1000 never mind 500!!!)

But humour me gents lol, I'm using the tripod mostly for fixed shots, and handycam anyway, but one that could pan okay too would be er great.

Its more a case of what tripod can support the HVX and its weight etc, that concerns me (for that money)

Anyway chaps suggestions appreciated!

thats the same price, (10bucks cheaper) and has the 503 head instead of the 501. SO a definate upgrade for the same price

That's a great tripod but it's less than 3 feet tall at it's maximum height.
