Which tripod are you using with your A1/HC1/HC3?

Would the combo of Gitzo G-1228 Legs and Gitzo G-2380 Video Fluid Head work with the A1?

i have a bogen/manfratto 3001bn with a 501 fluid head - it works like a charm.

I had bubble levels I glued to the fluidhead and was adjusting the legs. I eventually got the Manfrotto quick leveller. Worth every cent, especially for HDV, where the wide aspect immediatly shows EVERYONE your 'pod is crooked! It is exceptionally important on non-level ground.
