    Looking for a fluid head around 100-130. It could be used. What are your guys suggestions? I just wanna get one that won't suck(shaky footage) when filming

    Check out the Manfrotto 128RC, I love mine and picked it up new for around that same price range.

    Also, it kinda matters how heavy your setup is. The 128RC would be very good for lightweight rigs, but if you have a larger, heavier camera set up, then you'll need a beefier fluid head.

    this is true, I have a light weight rig and it's perfect...but i think it would work well with a g20 also.

    Just ordered a muddy outfitter camera arm, varizoom vz stealth lanc remote, and debating on the manfrotto 701hdv or 701rc2 fluid head

    I picked up the 700rc2 on Amazon for $80 and it works very well with my Canon G30, Azden Mic and Vz Stealth controller.
