Yes, I know that's a low price in comparison to the Vinten range of tripods and fluid heads, but it's the budget I have.
Generally I know that there is rarely a "Something for nothing" choice, but I found this one:
Konig Heavy Duty Professional Video Camera Tripod with: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo
for just £105.00
Video of results here:
YouTube - Sony HDR HC1 A1E Footage with Konig Fluid Head Tripod
Now that is, to phrase "The Duke" "Cheap as chips!"
Well within budget, but I did read TwistingTornado's comment on the video page and it would appear that any user control of the camera (at long lens) results in a slight wobble?
Looking at heads only, I am considering the Manfrotto 701HDV or 501HDV (which is better...there's only one way to find out! Fightttttttt!!!) but I think that the 501HDV will suit the Panasonic HMC151 better. The problem I have is that I really like the 501HDV head, but finding a sturdy tripod to go with it is really confusing me!
So, the budget is £300, are there any suggestions from tripod users with fluid-head set up that you can recommend?
