Good tripod for Panasonic GH4.

[Izaya Orihara]

So I'm looking upgrade my filming equipment for my Tech channel. I've always just filmed with my RX 100 III. 

 

 

I want to upgrade it to a Pansonic GH4. 

 

 

I also want a new Tri Pod.

 

Can anybody recommend me a good tri pod that isn't 500€+ ?

 

 

Thanks.

For video work you want a fluid head, not a ball head. I picked up something like this from Amazon (mine has telescoping/nesting legs, instead of the 'crutch-like' legs):

Just a few notes about it though. One, it smells REALLY bad when you first get it. All of the rubbers and synthetic materials stink something awful and you need to let it air out for a few hours at the least. Two, there seemed to be a slight bump in the tilt and pan when you moved them, but after a few uses, it smoothed out. It's a decent tripod and a lot cheaper than the bigger name brands. Honestly, I don't pan or tilt that often in my shoots, so little things like that 'bump' don't really bother me. What I like is the legs are easy to open/close, it can get pretty low for a 'full sized' tripod and it has a solid heft to it. With a lighter camera like my GH2, even with a big, heavy anamorphic lens on front, it always feels solid.

There is this trick where you use a rubber band to turn the arm on your tripod to make the camera pan smoothly. Very helpful if your tripod isn't very high quality.
