This was my workhorse tripod setup before I got a new FlowTech setup. It's light, strong, and has a great range of payload. The Cine DSLR head is a little bit of an oddball, it was a short-lived aim at the DSLR market and came with a special plate that was meant for a DSLR. I have both that plate and a standard Sachtler/Manfrotto plate and will include both.
While the specs say this head is good for 1-4kg, that's a damn lie. This head easily handles my C300 Mark III and 18-80mm lens kit with a Zacuto Gratical mounted with the counterbalance set to 6/10. I've had my fully-rigged shoulder setup on it as well... and that weighs right around 17 lbs. It didn't break a sweat. There's a review of this head on this site here: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?245508-The-Sachtler-CineDSLR-Fluid-Head-An-In-Depth-Review that goes into the under-rating of this head including a video demonstrating it.
The legs are Sachtler's version of the Manfrotto 535 legs. Carbon fiber, single-tube, spreaderless legs. They're great legs and the whole setup is pretty darn light and gets to a respectable height (higher than I'd usually use it).
The whole setup comes in a Sachtler-branded Petrol bag.
Everything's been used and shows some wear, but never abused and there are no functional problems.
Looking for $850 including shipping and any fees. I'm very open to offers, however.
