Fluid Head Tripod

I'm looking to get a fluid head tripod that can support the weight of an Panasonic HVX with follow focus, depth of field adapter, and matte box. I have $300 to spend. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul - the best value for money tripod on the market, in my view, is the $140 Ravelli AVTP. It has a 27 lb. capacity and is built like a tank. 75mm bowl, dual handles for smoother pans and tilts - two Manfrotto compatible quick release plates.

If you want to save a little more money, you can get the "Fancier" branded version of the same tripod for $125.

I own this tripod, and it does a great job.

Hope this is helpful,

Bill
