Fluid Video Head?
Hello,
We currently use Bogen 501 heads on our tripods. However, after renting an expensive Sachtler legs & head, I am wanting to upgrade our heads. I realize that in general terms, the more you spend, the better the product. What I am looking for is the best balance between a $2500 head and something better than the 501? Does anyone have any experience with the 516 or 519 from Bogen? Is the difference really worth it. The largest camera I have now is the Sony DSR-250 (full size DVCam). And will likely be adding nothing larger than Panasonic’s HVX200.
Thanks for any input,
Mike -

Gitzo 1380 fluide head with 1325V carbon legs. Completely outclasses anything else I’ve used. Not to say I’ve any experience with the $2500 heads you mention.
I’ve read that the Bogen 503 is okay as an entry level fluid head, but I’ve never tried it.
