Just purchasing a HPX500 w/fujinon lense w/2x extender... Wanting to order a sachtler tripod that would suit... I am looking at the sachtler range of tripods from the DV12 (with a 30lb capacity) up to a 15 (35 lbs capacity) or even an 18 (39lbs capacity). I'm thinking the 15 may be a good fit, but the 12 is cheaper... All are 100 mm heads... So wondering if anyone has an approximate weight of the camera when loaded with lense and batteries?
 
I have the DV12 and have used it with a dsr500, d-30w/beta deck, and xd-cam units and it has worked great. rock solid. I bought the head and gitzo carbon fiber legs. Had for 5 years and love it. Can't say enough about having a good tripod set-up.
 
I have a 500 with a DV15. Works great! The DV 15 replaced a cartoni that I suffered with for years. The DV 15 is worth the extra.
