[Richard Milner]

Ty,

We have a Vinten tripod and head combo that we are currently using with the xl2. give me or Craig a call to get the particulars.

Price point is very good.

Hello Ty, I’ve been reading the posts and thought I would toss in my two cents worth. I own two XL2’s and made my sticks/head purchase based on recommendations and my budget. I chose the Manfrotto 3193 tri-pod, with spreaders and a rolling dolly. Aluminum, but very sturdy and a bit beefy. I use the Bogen 516 fluid head with a 100mm bowl. I shoot weddings, sports, interviews primarily. So far, I am very happy. When I film football games I need to move the camera quickly and smoothly. With the tensions adjusted properly it is working great. I am certain the other more expensive heads and sticks perform flawlessly, I just did not have that kind of capital to invest, but I am certainly happy with what I have received for my money.

Thanks Larry,

I looked at it. Seems like you get what you pay for. The Sachlter goes down to 20 inches and has more drag contol and a mid spreader.

As a migrating audio guy, I am becoming overwhelmed.
