Simple question: what tripod to get for the 65?
The usual issues of course: light, yet sturdy and affordable

I also use the Bogen 3001 tripod with the PF80A with a 322RC2 grip. Works well for me and I also use for digiscoping. Jose

One is a fluid head,[the 3130] .The other is a ball type head.

Willem i have never used a ball head but the name describes it. DO really like the 3010 .I also have 2 bogen 501,s They are even better [bigger] than the 3031,s Same method of operation but overkill for the pf65.
