JosvanEekelen Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 <p>Perhaps Manfrotto 055 in one of its incarnations? The first thing you will have to decide if you want lever or screw (twist) type locking for the leg sections. Use carbon fiber if weight is an issue, if not a sturdy/aluminium one.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_ferris Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 <p>Video orientated shooting is much easier with a video orientated tripod, these generally have a leveling plate to speed up leveling.</p> <p>The Manfrotto video version of the 055 photo orientated tripods is the <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=manfrotto+755&N=0&InitialSearch=yes">755 series,</a> they come in aluminium and carbon. They are a very good legset and much more suited to video use that the 055 series.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
