Last
week I got my new Hague Multi Jib and to support it I opted for a
Manfrotto 528XB tripod. This has to be Manfrottos heaviest tripod. It's
just built to last with an over dimensioned construction.
I had
other options like Kesslers K-pod but the Manfrotto with it's 50kg
payload will work fine for the Hague jib. If the need occur for a more
heavy duty head I can stick it on these sticks.
The spreader is also more robust than what I am used to on Manfrotto tripods. You can spread it further in five steps and it feels solid and it's much easier to adjust than the one on my 546.
To make the jib moveable I also got Manfrottos 114 dolly. It folds up pretty easy and has lockable wheels with covers to avoid cables getting stuck when wheels are turning. In the middle a standard 3/8 screw to mount a head for low mode shooting. Might come in handy.
The 114 dolly is for tripod with rubber feets and the feet on the 528XB are either rubber, of if you turn them, spiked. Each wheel has it's own lock so with one wheel locked you can do some cool dolly moves round an object for example.
I will put this combo through to the test next time I use the Hague jib. With a bit of luck in a week or so.
