Hey,

Looking to purchase a tripod in the near future. I have used a 701 head for my monopods and sliders and other tripods. I plan to stick with that. However I would prefer to save some money on the sticks. All I would need it to support is at MOST a 5d with a 70-200 2.8 and an H4n zoom. I don't know the combined weight of all that but its probably not a ton. Anyways I don't care about brand or anything as long as I can put a 701hdv head on it.

I would love to hear some suggestions.
 
A solid tripod is just as important as a fluid head, so cheaping out on the sticks may nullify anything you gain from the 701. I'd start HERE. You might be able to get away with THIS, but I've not personally used that set before.
 
Thanks! I do mostly wedding and event stuff and the reality is that the camera is on monopods sliders, cranes stabilizers etc way more than on a tripod. Usually on tripod stationary fora ceremony and maybe a couple other shots so I think I can make do with that second one. Thanks!
