HI ALL,
I didn't really know what title I should give this thread. As there are so many tripod threads. And I,... want to add some more...
But I think they mostly handle the question for lighter loads, like DSLR, BMPCC, BMC, etc.
I'm looking for something that can handle +- 13Kg
So it's not super heavy, but definitely quite heavier than most...
At the moment I have, and am using a SachtlerVideo 14II
It is within it's capacity, but I feel it's fighting a bit against its limit.
It's not super sturdy, It has a bit of wobble. This is also due to having a top heavy setup.
With lower payloads it is a great tripod not too many bells and whistles, but very smooth.
Anyhow, a sparkly new tripod for that weight range is probably out of my budget.
Also I don't need too many bells and whistles. I just want it to be sturdy and smooth.
I will prefer 100mm bowl over 150mm bowl as.. -if I'm not mistaken- there are no solo legs (miller, gitzo, manfrotto) for 150mm.
Tripod's I've been thinking of:
Vinten Vision 10, although it shouldn't handle more. I've seen people use it with a similar setup to mine. Also looking at the design it seems like it's more made to handle heavier loads -with it's broader base. There seems to be a variety of versions which makes it difficult to find info on the net.
-> Any user experiences with this head? especially at heavier loads?
-> the Lame question: what's the price range on these heads / heads+tripod? I've seen them go for 1000 and I've seen them go for 300$… :cheesy:
Ronford Baker F4 or F7 or... (150mm bowl though) O'connor 50D (100mm bowl)
I know these heads are capable of handling that load. Easily.
-> Again the Lame question: What is a good price for these heads?
->Any heads/models that I've missed and should look into?
I also came across an old Miller 30 series I OR II. It's more or less the same story as with the Vision 10. Any opinions on that one?
Thanks ahead!
