Hi There

As Video Channel Sales Manager for Manfrotto/Lowepro may I also suggest you take a look at the 701RC2745 MDV kit for the A1E. Its lightweight and is ideal for the A1E size. I use it with a PD 170 but it's slightly too heavy for the counterbalanced head.

If you can make it to Video Forum next month you will be able to play with all our tripods

I will endeavour to assist you in any enquiries re our two product ranges and you can contact me through Daymen International on 01902 864646

Best wishes

Peter
