Classic manfrotto. Sturdy, light, great fluid head. I like this head system because it is easily leveled without having to fuss too much with the legs.
I use this set up with a Canon HF G10 with several accessories attached and it performs perfectly. I use it a lot for run and gun shooting and it is very maneuverable. The legs are easy to open and close, which is important when time is of the essence.
The fluid head is supplied with the LONG plate, which makes it impossible to change the battery of an Canon XA20 without removing the camera from the tripod, then unscrewing the plate from the camera. I don't like the thought of doing that in the field.
