I have the 503HDV now, I just purchased it used and it seems to be pretty inadequate. The pan drag adjustment seems erratic, and stops and starts aren't as smooth as I would want.
Would the Libec 38 be a useful upgrade? My budget is around $800 for the tripod. Should I push that to include a Miller DS-10? What about the Sachtler FSB-4 or -6? (I'm putting around 7/8 pounds on it) |

I have the Libec with my XHA1 and RR M2E and love it - amazing tripod at the price - you will not be dissapointed!
I got mine here - http://tapeworkstexas.com/ls38m_2a_.html - and it was on sale through them, i'm not affiliated in any way. Cheers, Brian |

HDV501 or HDV503 for XH-A1s?
I'm looking to update the tripod head. Looking at either HDV501 or HDV503. Price is almost double on HDV503. Is it too way or overkill to use HDv503 on XH-A1? What's your suggestion?
thank you!

So I should go with something even more than expensive than HDV503? Any suggestion?
Thanks

Hi Taky.........
Is this a bare XH A1 or pimped?
Bare I would suggest the Sachtler DV 6 SB. Sachtler*>*75 mm Pimped enough, the Vinten Vision 3 AS. Vinten | Vision 3AS Pan and Tilt Head | www.vinten.com For more on the V3 AS, my review: Vinten Vision 3 AS Tripod (1 of 4) DV Info Net The Manfrotto's just can't cut it with HD (IMHO), it's as simple as that. Avoid or regret. CS |

It is for XH-A1s with the Canon WD-H72 wide angle lens adapter.
I already have the manfrotto tripod so I would like to stick with the same brand. But I will check out the links you sent. thanks

XH - A2s??
Hmm, think there must be a mistype there somewhere, else NZ is getting stiffed on new Canon gear..............
Bad luck on the Manfrotto tripod, better luck next time. If you want/ need to stay with Manfrotto, your next best bet is the 519 head, at least it has variable counterbalance. tripods, heads, monopods, light stands, camera supports, lighting supports, professional tripod 519 - PROFESSIONAL FLUID VIDEO HEAD CS |

wowo the 519 head is almost triple the cost of 530HDV... it's out of my budget. I guess I will stick with 530HDV. I'm also getting the 3520 leveling interface
Manfrotto 3502 - Compact Camera Leveler
