Hello,
I am searching for a used Bogen Manfrotto tripod for camera and camcorder usage. I would like a fluid head to move the camcorder from left to right and up and down smoothly. Nothing professional. Looking for a low-end model that is adequate to move around as stated above.
The camcorder weighs good 5 pound.


Could you give me a model suggestion? Thank you.

501 head and 055 legs

works a treat, i use em for my DVX100's and i havent got any complaints..

with the right tension, it can compare quite nicely with the 503 fluid head

Kevin, check B & H's website. You can steal one for a good price. I have a Bogen fliud head I hardley ever use because I own two other tripods. I will let it go for $150.00 (I paid $189.00 before tax). Let me know. My e-mail is Invfraudguy@yahoo.com.
