I did see a video comparing low light GH4 vs GH5 and the results were impressive (in favor of the GH5). There are several compelling features... I don't/won't need it though.
I like the extension bracket idea. After realizing where the threaded mount hole is for the H1, I'll probably want to have some sort of extension to get the H1 away from the viewfinder.
I've added that Takstar mic to my Amazon wishlist. Looks like a decent bit of kit. Thanks for the tip!
I also did pickup a Benro "flexpod", model C-298n6 and a Manfrotto 496RC2 ball head
from Craigslist. (not my post, just linking for pics and review) I wanted a small, light travel tripod that was also good for Macro duties. Very pleased so far!
Anyone have experience with a Manfrotto 498rc2 plus a Nikon D600 (or other full frame Nikon) + Nikon 70-200mm f/4 or Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8?
I ask because currently I have the Manfrotto 496rc2 which came with my tripod and I've noticed with the 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/4 that the ballhead sags a little bit. I was hoping to buy a new ballhead for hopefully around $100 or stretching it at $150 that doesn't sag at all with this setup. Also the panning feature on the 498rc2 would be cool.
Asking this again,
Does anyone know if this tripod will be compatible with this head? I'm looking for a new ball head with a quick release for this set of legs. Any suggestions?
What do you guys think of this tripod?

I have only ever owned carbon fiber legs in the past (sold them), but this model seems to be really good. They seem more appealing than the 055's due to size and weight.
Also, how about this ballhead?

I used to own a Markins Q3 Email ($289) and absolutely loved it! Looking for a decent budget ballhead for now, and this one seems really popular.
At most, the tripod would hold maybe a DX Nikon with 70-200 VR. This setup seems like overkill for that light weight.
Any input is appreciated!
