New tripod

[LHSFREESKIERS]

Hi Guys,
I'm looking to buy a new tripod for my HV30. I have done some research and come up with two choices.http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=cart_accessories&A=details&Q=&sku=366741&is=REGhttp://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...ROVISTAIR18_ProVista_Airlift_Tripod_with.html

Wondering what you think is best?Thanks

Id go with the Velbon because it coss less, weighs lest, and has the same pros and cons as the other. I have one very similar to it and I love it.

I'm looking into the Velbon DV-7000 too, but im worried that its too big and heavy to comfortably take on the mountian. anyone have any experience with this?

Also its a fluid effect head, is it really good enough for smooth pans?

Depends what you want. The D S is a better head and much stronger unit. But also alot heavier. The Velbon is lighter but the head does not pan as nicely.
