  Best Tripod for Sony NX5U

  Posted by John Clawson on June 28, 2011 at 4:25 pm

  My work is considering purchasing two Sony NX5U to be our more portable cameras. We want to purchase two lightweight tripods to go along with them. I’m thinking carbon fiber legs and a decent fluid head.

  We can spend about $2,000 or less on each tripod kit.

  Any suggestions?

  Manfrotto 504HD Head/546B Legs Kit. Perfect for the NX5 and run $750. Perfect sticks for your budget.

  I have been enjoying the Manfrotto 028B sticks.

  They allow me to telescope up to about 9 feet in a jiffy, although I don’t usually go that high. I get get above the heads of people in front of me.

  I use that when I am in

  in the back of a church doing a wedding.
  in the back of a theatre recording and need more height
