They both have superb build quality, don't weigh too much, and will, if looked after, give you years of good service. Hope this helps. |

Thanks
Hello, i have decided in past to buy a Sachtler DV-6SB with 75mm speedlock tripod. I have posted this thread because, i was not sure, but now its definitive. It's not so cheap, but im ready to pay for quality

For that money I would look at the Gitzo G-1338 fluid head and Carbon Fiber Tripod legs. I have been very happy with this system for the last year.
It is quick and easy to set up with a very smooth fluid head and a 25 lb capacity. You can check it out at B&H. |

I borrowed the Gitzo 1338 from a friend for a shoot a few months ago. It was really good. I guess you get what you pay for.

Mark they are great. Setting up the internal spring to balance for your camera is the key to smooth performance.
I am sure there are heads and legs in the same price that work great but I am very happy with the Gitzo. |
