Tripod for basic Scarlet

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to get a tripod for a scarlet kit. I don't know the weight, but it won't have a mattebox or cine lens. Pretty basic. I've been looking at a few and I wanted to know what everyone thought. I'm trying to keep it under $1k.

My friend uses this tripod and he said ignore the load capacity. That seems like a big risk and possibly stupid idea right?

This is what I'm leaning towards but I'm afraid to do the single sticks... even though from my experience, I like them.

I'm wondering what people think about this setup. Seems like a good option.

Any other suggestions or thoughts?

Thank you!
 
Have the 504HD/535 combo. Two of them actually. I like the systems alright, but like many say the head could be better. I am especially fond of the 535/536 legs though. Very lightweight, tall, and quite solid. For a mobile setup, I'd certainly buy the legs again...
 
Do yourself a favour and get the best you can. A good tripod can last you a lifetime. You'll want to add weight at some stage of your life. I went through 4 cheaper tripods before I ended up with a sacthler 20s1. Wish I just bought it the first time
