A suitable budget tripod?

[Ed Sieb]

I recently acquired a couple of Arriflex cameras and now need a suitable tripod. I don't want to spend thousands of $$$.
Question: How much do the Arri 16BL, and Arri 16M weigh?

This will tell me what kind of tripod I need.

TIA

If I just acquired two FILM cameras I think I would try to find an awesome tripod. I wouldn't recommend going for cheap here. Just a thought.

I have a nice $120 that works great. Im sure you can find some in that area to suite you.

For Arris I would go with a Sachtler.

I'm on somewhat of a budget. I fear that the tripod I need will cost me more than what I paid for the cameras (got them cheap on eBay). Sigh... guess I'm going to have to bite that bullet.

Buy an old Miller with wooden legs and a fluid head.

Here's one.

Something in the class of Sachtler DV-8 would be the smallest I would go with these
cameras.

Fully loaded with mag and lens, figure around 20lbs.

Thank you. I've gotten responses from various sources which seems to indicate that both the 16M and the 16BL run about 20lbs loaded. I've decided on a tripod system that will handle about 35lbs +/-, so I should be alright. I also have a line on an original Arri tripod so I should be set up well.
