Hi I am in search of a Tripod which is not ultra heavy, buttery smooth and hold a small camera like the C100. I am a wedding Cinematographer so the weight is quite an issue carrying such large amount of equipments in multiple bags to a shoot, especially destination weddings.

Your input is much appreciated
 
I just bought a Libec kit consisting of RT30B/RH25. It's very light compared to my Manfrotto 028/502HD

You can pay up to $15,000, probably more.
 
Going to cross-post this here too, but I have a Manfrotto 501HDV and 503HDV (although I feel like my 503HDV might not be working properly.. bought it used) and I'd like to step up to something higher than the 503HDV. It just isn't smooth enough when using it with my GH4 at 100mm. The 503HDV head seems to go for less than $200 used, so ideally a better head that is ~$300 used or so would be my goal! I have the Manfrotto 755 for my legs, so I'd be using the head with that.
 
From what I've seen the Sachtler Ace is always sold with the legs though, and I'm just looking for a head only since I was planning on keeping my Manfrotto 755 legs.
 
My advice, always go a little higher - the FSB6 is 1125 at BH. I'd be looking at a slight stretch to that.
 
The other one I'd highly recommend around that price for 1128 at BH is the Miller DS10.

I've always found fluids heads from different manufacturers work have a different feel to one another. Some seem to work better for me. Try before you buy if possible.
