Anyone hear of or use the Sunpak 620-800 Video PRO-M Tripod? How does it compare to Bogen 503 (any sticks), and the Libec M20? It's suppose to handle at least 15lbs with a $160 price tag, but I have no idea if it has a real fluid head or if it's very stable/durable.
 
Thanks thisiswells, I took a look at the previous tripod post, but I guess I'm specifically looking for more info on the Sunpak 620-800 video PRO-M. Anyone use it?
 
I have a bogen 3063 and 3011 blackfinish legs all in excellent shape..
I'll give it to you for $160 just so you don't have to have a Sunpak.
 
I have the sunkpak pro and it sucks. The handle that screws into the head is in two screwed in segments and when you loosen the head to tilt it, the end screw comes out of the shaft and gets stuck in the head, disabling any movement up and down. pooor engineering... I'd go w/ bogen of somesort...
 
It's Miller propaganda... They invented the fluid head. Call Miller.
They could explain exactly -in detail- why Bogen doesn't make a true fluid head.

I know you're the engineering type, me too. I just can't remember the technical reason for it.
 
Thanks everyone for all your feedback. I think I'll put my pennies together and get the 503. Thanks, thisiswells, for your tripod offer, but I need to get one with the leveling ball and one that will support heavier cameras.
