Thats a great tripod. Did they hook you guys up? How's the HPX treating you?

FaultLineMediaGroup (Oct 3, 2009 at 18:00)

The HPX is doing amazing. Its litterally bombproof. Probably on the top of my list out of the camera's I've used. Highly recommended.

are u just using the angled metal and skateboard wheels for your dolly?

FaultLineMediaGroup (Oct 3, 2009 at 20:52)

Exactly it. Angle alluminum, and rollerblade wheels (better) to be exact.

easy to make? lightweight?

How much did the tripod run you for? And what model is it? Stoked to see what's coming down the tube.

FaultLineMediaGroup (Oct 3, 2009 at 20:54)

It would cost you about $1000USD, depending on where you got it. It is a Vinten ProTouch 5. It's already amazing and I highly recommend it. And I am stoked to do some real mtb filming with it. It hasn't gotten it's chance yet. The video thats coming out in a few hours wasn't filmed with it. Their will then be a pause for a couple months, and then.. ohhhhhhh and then. Lol. Should be good. Thanks for the question. -ep

any plans in the future to buy a 35mm adapter for the HPX? and did you look into monfroto at all for tripods?

FaultLineMediaGroup (Oct 3, 2009 at 22:54)

I have a 35mm adapter in my house right now actually. Just waiting on a step ring, and a canon 50mm lense.

I did look into Manfrotto's. I looked into a 501hdv head and 525MVB sticks. Manfrotto and Vinten are both owned by the same company (Vitec), therefore the 501 head is exactly the same as this Pro5 head. This head actually came in a box with a Manfrotto label. However the Vinten sticks are much better than the Manfrottos. That is why I chose this system.

ah fair enough any reason you why the Vinten legs are better? (high payload, lighter?) any idea of Vinten makes legs for photography as well?, my monfroto pod is cumbersome and I'm liking the look Vinten and if they'll work with my 488rc4 head I might be super interested.

FaultLineMediaGroup (Oct 3, 2009 at 23:18)

The Vinten legs have a max load of 55 pounds, the Manfrotto is 33. The Vinten uses whats called Pozi Loc technology. It's like leg clamps on other tripods, except their design is just a switch, theirs no clamping. You turn the knob and it clicks. Much easier on the hands I might add, no need to keep tightening. The Vintens are also lighter and higher quality.
