Q: 4. I purchased my Ace trips for my new sony camcorder and love it. I would also like to use this tripod with my Canon 7d for both still and video applications. What accessories would you recommend to properly mount the 7D to this tripod head?

A: The Ace tripod system is excellent for the 7D in most any video configuration you wish. You can start out by just mounting the 7D directly on the tripod with the included quick release. If you progress in video, you will find you will want a cage to hold accessories, such as a mic, a light, a mic receiver, etc, etc. Then you may wish to go hand held. There are dozens of firms making such handheld 15mm shoulder DSLR rigs. Zacuto, Redrock, SHAPE, Genus, ikan are just some of the good quality ones. The trick comes with wanting to do stills with this tripod as well. Using a video head for stills is very limiting mostly because of not being able to go vertical. Other disadvantages are the pan handle gets in the way, and fast framing is impossible because the fluid, while great when shooting video, slows you down lining up still shots. Generally, in the long run, a still photo tripod is preferred. However, to economize, the answer is to remove the video head and put a still photo ball head in its place. Do so by adding a 75mm ball to flat adapter like the one from E-image seen attached. Then mount a still photo tripod head such as the Giottos to the flat base. This should work pretty well.

Q: 5. What is the load capacity of the legs alone? In case I want to mount a slider with a camera.

A: Not more than 8 pounds and that is pushing it. Of course you know that sliders are best when secured at both ends or on solid ground...unless it is a very short slider.

Q: 6. Is this tripod and head capable of smooth panning and tilting with my GH5 and 100-400mm lens set at 400? This is 800mm full frame equivalent.

A: This will be an excellent choice. The Ace head is very smooth and will handle your camera and lens with ease.
