Default which tripod for sony dcr vx 2100

I am new to video my question is,I already have a Manfroto 058 for still photography, do I need to purchace a specialist video tripod instead, or could I just purchace a fluid head for the 058.
Also what would be a good fluid head (and tripod if I need specialist video tripod)
to purchace.
Terry.

I'm not familiar with the size and weight of that tripod, but I'm sure you'll give us more details in your next post. If you have everything else then just purchase a fluid head, does the tripod have a long pan/tilt handle or is short and stubby? If the weight is a problem it might become cumbersome to carry about for long periods so maybe a lighter model might be worth considering.

The Tripod weighs 6.15 kg, capable of supporting 12kg camera, I would need to purchace a good fluid head for video, so recomendation for decent fluid head and lighter tripod if needed would be a great help.
I have just ordered camera, did not go for Sony dcr 2100, purchased a Sony HDR - HD 1000P instead.
