Videographers! A question about (still camera) tripods ...?
My background is in still photography but I recently acquired a Canon XL2 for a documentary I'm working on.
Over the last several years I've used a Bogen 3236 tripod with a Monfrotto 329 head for medium format photography.
I'm now faced with possibly shelling out major bucks (which I don't have) for a VIDEO tripod setup. Can't I just get along with what I have? What are the drawbacks to using this setup? It seems to support the camera just fine. I have sandbags to provide additional support.
And how about using this tripod with a dolly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
try ebay for what you want or
buy a dolly and a video head
