I never use a beast like this. But I think that, if you can afford it, there is not better option...

They sell for several thousand dollars/euros/pounds so if you can find one at a good price, go for it.

A real bargin, grab it quick! Do check it out first, of course, as any repairs will be costly......

Whichever brand you pick, make sure it is rated for at least 20 lbs. The Wimberley head is a must.
