Vinten VISION 6 to use with long lenses. at DVinfo.net

I am still trying to figure out what kind of fluid head and tripod legs I need for wildlife filming with the Canon XL-2.
I am going to use long lenses including the Canon 300 2.8 that I use for bird stills photography.
Is the Vinten VISION 6 a good choice for getting the highest quality shots? what are good tripod legs for it ?
Any other good fluid heads in that price range of 1000-1500 USD?
Thanks,
Ofer

I use a Vinten Vision 3 and it is excellent and I would highly recommend, I use it with the EF lense adapter and a 70-200 2.8 L IS and it works well. The Vision 6 is the next model up so I am sure it will be fine also.
