I just recently purchased the HPX500 and I'm looking for a pretty good tripod for it. Can you guys give me your top 3 tripods for this camera?


thanks

Greg,
I think it depends on what you are shooting but I like Sachtler Video 18 or 20s with 2 stage ENG legs for interview and B Roll shooting with the 500. They last for years and have great features. You don't necessarily need the latest model.
Another idea is to find out what your local rental company keeps in stock and get something compatible so you have some options if you just want the basic unit and then can rent accessories as needed.
