Taking a look at my new tripod setup, and comparing that to the other tripods in my arsenal.
My Starter Tripod: amzn.to/2HscCzU
Upgrade Fluid Head (502): amzn.to/3dUJixw
Upgrade Legs (XPRO3) amzn.to/3mjBlVK
Workhorse Tripod (Sachtler Ace XL + Flowtech 75mm): amzn.to/37Ymex6

Is it worth spending over $1000 on a tripod for video, while still being on the low end of production scale? I’ve done the math and the consideration, and for my needs, it made sense to acquire a moderately expensive Sachtler setup. If you film with a DSLR or mirrorless setup, you probably don’t need to spend nearly as much on tripod like this; but when you need to stabilize a heavier cinema camera rig, you have to spend more to get the right tool.
This is absolutely a luxury - I could have gone out and spent half as much and gotten a totally workable setup. But I believe in spending the money to get tools that enable me to move more quickly on set. And final disclaimer - tripods get a LOT more expensive than this; but for my level of production and the cameras I use most often, this is close to the ceiling of what makes sense.
