    Well that's good. So I just have to get the proper head to go with it the legs could hold all the weight I'd be looking at as well. Thanks neuro

    I think I linked this before in another thread, but http://creativelive.com/courses/vince_laforet/has a thing on heads and shows you the differences. I think it's the free video under the Gear section. There is also another good point made (I think in the same video)when he talks about using an adapter piece for his video cable.
    Words get in the way of what I meant to say.

    I have a proper tripod for video stuff if I plan on doing serious video work, but most of the nature stuff simply requires a good smooth pan, and from my initial tests the Induro heads are pretty good on the independent pan feature. Perhaps Denise could back me up on this?


    Besides shakey cam is the way to go [] Redrock Micro Captain Stubling with a Zacuto finder and you're all set!

    Thanks for everyone's help. I ended up purchasing an Induro BHD1 (rated at 27lbs) and the Manfrotto 190PROXB legs.


    I'll post some night stuff in a bit.
