a complete Sachtler Active 8 system with flotech legs u can get for just over 3k USD - Sachtler has now discontinued the ENG 2CF Speed lock (standard Non HD) legs and replaced it with flowtech 100 at a cost of 4k USD - this is just too expensive - im going to look into buying the miller legs hopefully the local dealer has a demo I can try out - my 18S1 head has never had a service and I guess its at least 14 years old - has a small tilt issue now (probably from being dropped) and was quoted roughly $1,800 USD for service - I dont know - I think sachtler has become quite expensive now - might be simpler to just buy a new miller system than service a Sachtler 18. Camgear have a T100 CF2/MS Carbon Fiber Tripod with Mid-Level Spreader looks decent but its 4.7k kgs when the sachtler 100 speed lock is around 4.3kgs - at $920 USD for the camgear I think I can handle the extra 400g
