I'm wondering if the Sachtler DV-8 is too small for this camera, especially if weighed down with mattebox, follow focus, etc...

Does anyone use the Sachtler Video 20? What do you think about it for this camera? Waste of money? Would a DV-8 do the trick?
 
Sachtler DV-8 is planty big for this camera in my opinion.
i am leaning toward towrd the DV-6 but I find the legs a little scimpy. The head is great.
Video 20 is overkill.
 
DV4 is more than enough

DV4 is more than enough

I recently purchased 3 dv4 tripods. Coming from a guy who has used gitzo tripods, the dv4 for its class is more than enough. It is sturdy and a lot lighter than the other models it is all you need for prosumer cameras such as an HVX ,of which I own 3, even with the extra attachments. Unless you plan on shooting hurricanes or tornados you should be fine with a DV4.
