    Those Bandit series arms are pretty small and not designed to support a lot of weight, so your options are really going to be limited. Even the 700RC2 is a little on the big side for that arm IMO.

    The head that's included with that arm isn't great, but it's also not that bad. I would stick with that head for now and save your money for a bigger/better arm in the future.

    Went out and picked up a nice tripod today and love it with the new 701hdv on it. I will have it at the G2G for sure Oly.

    That looks like a pretty nice one. Ill have to get a decent one eventually because the 15 dollar one from Walmart sucks
