Figured I'd start the thread with an innuendo.

I'm frustrated. Looking for a fluid head for my Manfrotto 3036 sticks that will be able to support an XL2, 8' Kessler, and counterweights. Kessler's site says the 516 works a charm, but at a stated max weight of 22lbs, I'm hesitant to believe them. I've scoured the net to find something better that didn't cost more than the friggin' camera, but to no avail.

I don't mind spending money to an extent, and would rather not have to rent (because I'd like to practice with the crane at home too!).

Any ideas?
