Has anyone tried the Cartoni Action Pro head and tripod?
It might be in my price range, stretching it a little, if it improves considerably on the Bogen 503 head.
To be fair, for that money (around $800) I can get the Bogen 516, so a comparison should be done to it and other costlier heads from Sachtler, Miller or Vinten.
It can take up to 5Kg, which could hold a Sony FX1 when the moment comes, but the camera I should be buying this tripod for now should be a Panasonic GS400. Eventually the FX1 will take over.
My experience with Cartoni was with a film camera head, many years ago, and it resembled the Sachtler. But I never tried those new models.
