New semi-affordable Sachtler DSLR tripod system

[brianluce]

There aren't many, if any, decent and affordable tripods for DSLR's. The best one is the Vinten Blue, but they're around $1200. So now Sachtler, the Cadillac of brands, has new and semi affordable solution that's supposed to be decent. $535.

Looks cool. Still WAY out of my price range. I've been using a Pearstone VT-2100 and am quite pleased with it, and it was under $100. The fluid head is smooth enough that panning is completely doable. And it's well built and very sturdy.

Haha, they're quoting indietalk's UK Phil in the article.

That's awesome though, $535 for a sachtler!?
