I was just about to pull the trigger on a Zoom H4N when I got an email about this bad boy: [url=http://www.rodemic.com/vmhd]http://www.rodemic.com/vmhd[/url] Looks good. Any guess as to how much? I'll wager $500-800-US.

Which Manfrotto did you opt for?

Picked this up on eBay for $225(US). The seller listed it as a Gitzo 6x, but he had no idea what it was as he was selling it for a friend. I had him send me some photos, and this is what I got: [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/33538292@N06/6667058735/][img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7025/6667058735_de22dfa12a_b.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/33538292@N06/6667058735/#]2012-01-05_18-40-44_817[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/33538292@N06/]Mike[/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/33538292@N06/6667058491/][img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7005/6667058491_7aa73c3dda_z.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/33538292@N06/6667058491/#]2012-01-05_18-40-04_821[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/33538292@N06/]Mike[/url] Looks like a Gitzo 1257 with a low profile rationelle head. It definitely looks used, but I'm okay with that. This is my first tripod and I'm hoping I got a great deal on something that will serve me well as I grow into the GH2. I do wonder about the red cap on the center column... Thanks, Mike

Hi Milandirector, If you plan to purchase a Canon 5D, it would make sense to purchase the Canon compatible Samyang. You will need a Canon adapter to mount it on your GH2. I can highly recommend Andrew's EOSHD GH2 Shooters Guide as an excellent resource for these types of questions. Best, Mike

Any updates on that head? I have the chance to pick one up on the cheap if I move fast.
