can anyone recommend a good video tripod for a canon 5d mk2?
i'd like something reasonably heavy duty because i may get a glide track to go with it at some point. so something good for smooth pans and tilts.
thanks
Any decent fluid head system that is rated at least 3x or 4x the camera weight should be fine.
What's your budget?
Bogen Manfrotto, Davis & Sanford, Libec - there's lots. Don't bother with the low-end consumer grade sticks and heads. They are less expensive for MANY reasons - including none have real fluid heads, but might advertise "fluid like". The temptation to go with lightweight consumer grade is tempting, but with that you will also get "not very stable" and plastic quick-release mountings that contribute to the "not very stable" behavior. You *really* want metal release plates that lock solidly to the tripod head to keep the camera rock-steady.
Another option is to go way overkill - but for lots of reasons, might be VERY advantageous - the rock-solid tripod Kessler makes also easily supports their crane/jib system. And they also make an add-on chair and wheels and rail system for the tripod - and they have some other new rail systems that look pretty interesting, too. The tripod weighs a lot so keep that in mind. The upside is that their gear can handle a very wide range of equipment. I can stand on my Kessler tripod and it won't budge. And the crane works GREAT.
When I don't use the Kessler gear, I've been using a Davis & Sanford "airlift". I got the "kit" from bhphotovideo that included solid rubber dolly wheels (good for indoor studio type hard floor rolling) and canvas carrying case (and ten year warranty)... For a low-end fluid-head, I really like it.
As for the track - any ("decent") tripod you pick should be OK - worst case is that you build a platform - the track wheels on the bottom and the tripod on top. How big you make the platform depends on whether you want to ride on the platform or walk next to it... You *could* also just attach the wheels to the tripod - and those wheels ride the track...
Be sure the track/rail material can support the weight of the camera, tripod, platform or whatever else is planned to be riding the track - it would be a bummer to have the track collapse or be crushed because there's too much weight on a rail.
