trash? or useable?

[TimurCivan]

these two tripods are uinder $200 both capable of holding 10+ pound cameras. 2 way fluid heads etc, they are just low priced? have any of you ever heard of the companies? I know you get what you pay for..... but this looks more in my current budget range....

hhahaahah, that was funny.  its kinda nice to see a face to go with the name.   i imagined you older for some reason. like 40 or 50, a patriarch, with silver hair, guiding his flock of DVXers to glorious redemtion. ( coming soon to an art house near you)

Re: trash? or useable?

ha ha silver hair is close.. but im only 30. I like the Patriarch idea.

Re: trash? or useable?

What does it cost to rent something like that and, more importantly, is it available in an attractive female version?

So is that Davis & Sanford a true fluid head? Tim.

We bow to his height, our Patriarch! ;D (And his DP, the other towering giant)

ha ha us tall guys are gonna take over the world.

And yes there is an attractive version available, but it is very expensive and a little emotional. :-*

True dat! Jarred it was nice seeing you again, I hope you get home safely.

Re: trash? or useable?

so wait the provista is an actual fluid head right? not just some technicality of terms.

 

[Slimothy]

Re: trash? or useable?

No, I don't believe it is. I think thats what jarred was saying, you won't find even a fluid head for 200.00 much less a whole tripod including a true fluid head.
