Legs for a 701HDV?

[Jim H]

For a head, I've selected a 701HDV. I haven't quite figured out the legs thus far. B&H sells it as a package with the 190XB, which people seem to like. I'll be using this with lightish camcorders in the 4-5 pound range.

There's also a package with the new 547B legs, which looks nice but seems to lack versatility in leg arrangement. It's also so new I haven't been able to find anyone online who has actually used them.

Other than that, I don't have too many other ideas. I basically want legs that are fairly versatile and stable, in the $200ish or less range.

Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Cruise Ebay for awhile, you'll find a good solution. I don't always suggest buying a head on Ebay, but legs are rarely pushed past their limits and then sold on Ebay....while heads are fairly easy to push past their limits, and prolly get traded on Ebay often.

Personally I currently use a Cartoni Action Pro I got off of E-bay which was missing a QR plate and a foot. I got quite the deal, and have a functioning tripod/head that sells new on BH for $1000.....I paid much less then this
