Is there a Sachtler fluid head + tripod below $1800? Is it realistic?
I would like to use it for wedding cinematography. The weight load would not exceed 10LB.
Thanks so much!

I wanted to stay away from the ACE system. People say that the legs are not really sachtler quality.
Can you recommend the FSB6 with Carbon legs? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/498220-REG/Sachtler_0450_0450_FSB_6T_with_75CF.html

The FSB6 is good, but I have to ask: what is the cam that is going on there? And what OTHER accessories/peripherals will be attached to it (monitor, batteries, rails, lens hood, etc)? Because that all adds to the weight equation.

Ok, so you're looking at ~8 1/2 pounds (~3 + ~5 + ~ 1/2) just with those alone. Since the above linked sticks is rated to 13.2 lbs., that's still within the comfort zone. If you actually went up to 10-11 lbs, you'd be pushing it, because even if it says it's rated to 13.2, that just means it can safely HOLD/SUPPORT that much weight. It doesn't mean it will be STEADY. You need a much sturdier rating to maintain steadiness than just to maintain support.

Yes, that's correct! I want to be below the weight limit for sure.
