a very affordable but still very solid option
As you say "that doesn't break the bank" I would mention the Manfrotto 808RC4 3-way Pan/Tilt Head as a very affordable but still very solid option.
I just use it for a DSLR, but it has a load capacity of 17.6 lb (8 kg) - and it can be found at about ~ 125 USD.
It uses a Manfrotto RC4 Quick Release, and it comes with a Manfrotto 410PL Quick Release Plate RC4 supplied with 1/4"-20 and 3/8" threaded screws.
It's not geared, but it doesn't break the bank - and a 3-way head is usually faster to use than a geared head.
The head itself weighs 3 lb (1.370 kg).
Can anyone recommend a good head/leg combo that doesn't break the bank? (...)
