What Head do you guys recommend me using? I will be getting the 70-200 soon and a heavier body, so I need to upgrade my tripod and head.I will also be doing video's as well, so I should get a fluid head right? Are there any drawbacks to a fluid head? I already have a mindset on this tripod Manfrotto 055XPROB Aluminum Tripod Legs (Black) 055XPROB B&H
But also, I move around a lot so should I go Carbon Fiber? How about this one?
Manfrotto 190CX3 Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs (Black) 190CX3 B&H
or
Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs 190CXPRO3
They're both the same price.
As for the head, here are 2 Fluid Heads,
Manfrotto 804RC2 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head with RC2 Quick 804RC2 B&H
and
Manfrotto 808RC4 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head with RC4 Quick 808RC4 B&H
Do you guys have any preference? My budget is under 400 hopefully. I just came across some money to raise my budget.
Video is NOT priority though, http://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-496RC2-Release-Replaces-486RC2/dp/B002WN212I/ref=zg_tr_3347671_5 that was one of amazon's top rated heads. What do you guys think?
