But avoid tripods that have an adjustable center column. Honestly I think Induro do some great stuff but I'm not totally familiar with your exact model. I dont think a bowl is that necessary.

I bought a Induro CT-114 but it only has one locking screw and I feel like there's some movement when I pan. I'm looking at the Manfrotto line but not sure what I should get. Some possibilities: 755CX3, 351MVB. They all seem pretty heavy to carry around while snowboarding. Is a bowl level really necessary? Dan,

Anyways I'm looking into a video head for my dslr kit, the heaviest I'll ever be shooting and what I will mainly be shooting with is 5D MKII with a battery grip and a 70-200 f/2.8 IS. Do you think I can get away with the 701 or would I need to step up? Thanks Great content on here, I’ve been following the blog for awhile.

I use Benro Carbon fiber legs and find them to be great. Not as expensive as gitzo legs but 90% there in terms of quality. Have had no problems with them in snow.

I am also considering, but would like to use it for both photo and video (to economize weight). Thanks! Hi
