Looking to buy a 100mm bowl set of sticks that can hold at least 40Lbs.
I have a Sachtler Caddy (same as video18) and I need some sticks.

I am interested in sticks that will still fold up with the head attached with tiedown. My manfrotto 515MVB will not fold with the head on it because the knobs of the tiedown push against the top of the legs.

Some old Ronford legs or some of the sachtler will be ok (not a big fan of Sachlter legs with rotating foot, ALWAYS sits wrong.).
I prefer a ground spreader, but am not married to it.
 
What do you have-a studio camera? How about a set of Gitzo Studex 595, or G1505 aluminum legs? You can get a 100mm bowl from Gitzo as well.
I have a pair of the legs but will have to research the weight capacity. Also, I have a set of Univerisal sticks with 100mm bowl and a claw ball head...we're talking old.

I had meant to say Gitzo 'G505' sticks. But, to support 40 lbs maybe you need something like a 100mm high hat bolted down to solid wood. Curious on what weighs that much, other than a studio camera? Good luck on finding your solution.

Oconnor 35L take up to 60lbs. I have a set with 100mm bowl I might consider selling.
 
I have a mint condition Manfrotto 528 XB and fiber case for it. Good for up to 110 pounds, 100mm bowl mid leg spreader...might be a bit of over kill...
