Yeah - its so confusing isnt it?

hhhmmmm.....i like your idea of the mefoto/ manfrotto level head/ fancier. how do the levelling bases really compare to built in ball levelling? Looks fidgetier? I am in some weird & wonderful spots in the outdoors & so a quick setup on uneven/ rough ground is important.

I see alot of people have gone for the manfrotto below (has levellling head & reasoanbly light ~ 3.3kg?)

Heard mixed reports about the head though. maybe get the legs (they have great reviews - especially with self levelling head) & then a better head? Have Miller got legs like these?

Howdy folks...

Hows things? Trust your well. 

This may have been covered before but I couldnt find any previous posts?

I am a novice video maker (for school & work projects) who regularly goes on 2 week wilderness expeditions. I am on the look out for the lightest (?) tripod setup that has good levelling (ball head?) fluid head set up for my DSLR to take out bush. Any recommendations?

I like the Miller DS5 solo.....but I know there should be lighter & cheaper out there?! eg. benro tripods?

Would like the tripod to be a solid ~170cm, rubber spiked feet with screw clamps & no spreader. budget is up to $1000 but would like to spend less.....but happy to buy quality....

Cheers for any thoughts
