Triods for HVX-200

[steezb]

I'm looking to buy a Decent Tripod for my HVX. Would one of these be fine for the HVX? Any Suggestions on a Decent Tripod for $700 or less?

Manfrotto 501HDV Head, 525MVB Tripod

Manfrotto 503HDV Head, 351 mvb2k tripod.

Good head (no pun intended), Good legs under $700. I have the 503 HDV and it worked like a charm with my HVX/LEX combo.

I would recommend this ---> http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=libec+ls38m2a&N=0&InitialSearch=yes over the Manfrotto. Doesn't have that many options but is a way better tripod in my opinion...

What is you're opinion of the Manfrotto 525MVB Tripod legs? also... If I do go with Manfrotto, should I get a 501 or 503 head?

I personally don't like the cheap Manfrottos in general. I found them to be a little bit flimsy (at my old school, 2 tripods out of 3 broke during the first semester). Also, the libec felt much smoother... I suggest that you should go to a retailer and check them out yourself...

thanks for all you're advice.
