@pekoo these legs https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-Tripod-Video-Camera-Inches/dp/B00CEH7VG8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1491048639&sr=8-3&keywords=amazon+tripod and the fluid head ive just remembered is actually a £40 knockoff of the MVH500AH called the Phot-R VT-3510 

I saw video of this tripod and the stability looks terrible. It´s all shaking even in low base. But for 50€ it´s real steal.

Manfrotto MVH500AH is better than the amazon one?

I use a £60 amazon video tripod and a £100 manfrotto MVH500AH fluid head.  Seems conpletely fine for my use even when i had a c100. What am i missing that these other ones costing hundreds have?

Also if youre using a slider isnt it always best to attach it to two tripods? Like two £20 tripods would probably work better than one £200 tripod?

Could you please tell me, what tripod legs did you mean?

I just don´t need top notch tripod, just something usable for a few years... 

Yeah, 1000$ + is way too much. But definitely thanks to all comments. 

So your recomendation is not go with the Manfrotto set for 250€ in top condion?

I have read a lot about Davis & Sanford Provista 18. It seems to be a great tripod. Sutch a pitty, that in US costs around 160$ and in EU 250€. Is there any chance how to get it cheaper in EU?

It is a short slider, maybe 3kg... 

What I´m afraid most is, that I don´t have mutch trust in Manfrotto heads. I experienced two Manfrotto 503 heads and both moved a litle back when I released handle (it was a tiny move back noticeable only very zoomed detailed picture) like a flexing from handle. I don´t know, is this behavour normal?

Thanks for response.

I will use it with my GH4 most the time. I don´t think I will use crane, and I will use slider sometimes. I often record some lectures, so I would like to pan smoothly.

Hi, I´m not really sure, I´m on right forum, but I try.

I´m looking for affordable tripod with fluid head in Europe for about 200-250 euro. And also, I can get Manfrotto 755 + 501hdv with bag for 250 euro. Is it good deal for me?

Hi, I just want to know your opinion about 1080p/50 on G80. Is it any usable? Is there a huge difference compared to GH4?

Thanks all.
