Hey guys.
So I'm in the market for a tripod. I absolutely understand that a tripod/head setup is not something you should go cheap on.
I have been looking on ebay for the past few weeks looking at bogen 503 heads and kits containing them. Tonight I was on the phone with a friend who bought an XL1 from me. He recently bought a tripod that I've never heard of. The brand name is "Dynatran" He bought it on ebay for around $500 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=30094&item=7547109794). He says he is absolutely extatic about its quality. I'm somewhat skeptical seeing as how I've never heard of the brand before, and like many of you, have had bad experiences with cheaply made products.
I searched the threads in the forum for "Dynatran", and it seems that everyone so far seems to think that they're a good value. I'm hoping a few people who have bought one of these tripods will see this thread and give me their feedbacks.
How do they compare to bogen head/tripod setups? I'm looking for any and all information that anyone's got on these. I really appreciate it guys! Thanks!
