I'm taking delivery on a phillips 11x14 @ (12 lb's) and I am considering my tripod options. I read a couple of threads on the AZO Forum recomending a "cine 60" (made for the movie and television industry, and they are designed to securely hold VERY large film and video cameras. Dick Arentz is able to make verticals using this QR head.) I also understand Miller makes these types of heads as well.
My main reason for all this is to be able to go verticle with less of a struggle since I have no revesable back. I'm also considering the Ries recomendation, this was the overwelming majority from the last time I asked this question.
A surveyers tripod with a Miller/Cine 60 head is what I'm envisioning.
Thank you
