Hi all,
After having waited for almost a year for the Blackmagic Ursa Mini 4.6k, and after having returned it straight away when I found out that the sensor had the infamous magenta issue, I finally ordered a C300II after the price drop. Couldn't be happier: it's a very versatile camera: both for events and narrative. Anyway: my Vinten Vision 3AS tripo doesn't suffice anymore, especially when I start rigging teh C300 out with some accessories and - in a later stage, but soon enough a VCT baseplate (Vocas probably), a mattebox and a follow focus and, who knows, some V-mount batteries to have better balancing off the shoulder.
At IBC I saw the Miller Arrow x3 and I was impressed. Of course it's a lot of money, but it seems I wouldn't need to buy a fluid head again in the coming 10 years. I also need a pair of sticks and a tripod dolly (with air filled tires [so handy on events!]). So...my questions are:
- What other fluid heads would you consider?
- Which legs would you take? I'm open to not get Miller legs. I guess I'd go for a traditional two-stage tripod though, no 'solo', also because I want to use it with a (tripod) dolly
- Which tripod dolly would you get?
