Buy a Sachtler DV4 II or stay with Bogen / Manfrotto 503 / 525MVB???
Hi,
currently I own the Manfrotto/Bogen 503/525 Head and sticks, but I'd like to upgrade to the next step... Do you think the Sachtler DV4 II head with sticks is a step forward or not...? I'd like to rent the Sachtler DV4 II to try it, but there's no equipement rental in my area. So I can't try it out. Has anyone made experiences whith the DV4 II? I'd go with the Sachtler DV6 SB because of the Speed-Balance and the more drag settings, but I think my camera setup will not reach the weight minimum. I use ( will use ) the tripod with my DVX100b and depending on the shoot with WDR35pro 35mm-Adapter with rods, Chrosziel Mattebox, 7" LCD Monitor , LA7200 Anamorphic adapter, Century Optics .7 WA converter , shotgun mic , on-camera light. of course not all of this will be used at the same time, but my heaviest setup will be DVX100 + WDR35pro 35mm-Adapter with rods + matte box + mic. Do you think I should stay with the Manfrotto 503/525 combo ( the smoothness of the head doesn't really impress me...) or change to the Sachtler DV4 II head with sticks (which I could get for 900 US$). Will the Sachtler finally make me happy...? Best wishes, Manfred |
