I have a post over in the Tripod section also but I thought I might ask here too. I may be able to pickup a Sachtler DV 8/100 with single stage tripod to use with my XH A1. Right now I would only have the camera, a quick release plate and shotgun mic on it but am considering a larger VF and possibly a solid state or HD capture unit.

Would my current setup be too light for the Sachtler? From what I could discover it is suppose to support payloads form 2.2 to 26.5 lbs.

Thanks for you input.
