Fluid Head Tripod Kit

Hello guys,

I am a new 7D owner. I am looking for a good Fluid Head Tripod kit. My budget is $250-$300. I have never owned a professional tripod before, so I am not familiar with brand names.

I use my 7D to shoot videos & photos of Landscapes, Wildlife, Nature, People, Portrait, Families, Timelapses, etc. I travel to overseas once in a while.

I'd like to use my Canon Vixia HF11 on the tripod also.

Just wondering if you experts can help me choose one.

I really appreciate your help!

Thanks guys,
Low

oops - sorry. Is there anyway I can move the thread to that category?

Try these on for size:

Thanks EdWood, I will check out the Manfrotto 701HDV,190XDBAW Video Tripod System

The price seems to be within my budget. Reviews looks good!
Should I bother going to the store to check it out before purchase or just order it online?

thanks

I had the same dilemma nyzwerewolf.

I ended up buying this today: http://cgi.ebay.com …&ssPageName=STR​K:MEWAX:IT
If you want a more sturdy tripod for videos you might want this one: http://cgi.ebay.com …&ssPageName=STR​K:MEWAX:IT

Basically I decided between those 2 because they were cheaper than the Manfrotto one. Also, the tripod head is supposed to rival the Manfrotto 701HDV. Here's a review: http://cheesycam.com/?​p=1630

Hopefully this info helps.
