Tripod Systems
6 months ago

I will be adding an Arca Swiss L-Bracket to my NEX-6 as soon as one becomes available from J-Tec, RRS, or Sunway. Hopefully in January.

I already have two sets of CF tripod legs, both with ballheads. A large solid model and a smaller setup for travel.

This means I'll be well set for still photography. But I'm trying to formulate a plan to cover video as well.

Ideally, this will involve a video head with an Arca Swiss clamp that I can fit onto one of my existing tripod legs and not break the bank.

So far, I have found this video head from Feisol:

Inexpensive and takes the Arca Swiss plate. But not a "real" fluid head.

Alternatively, I was thinking about this Manfrotto fluid head:

together with this adapter:

Any comments or alternate suggestions?
