a manfrotto 679b is all you'll need.

Yah the tripod design is meant to be used as a 'third hand' to hold the camera for changing lenses and the like. IT also mentions using it as a microphone stand...which I have done in the past with similar monopod designs in the past with great success. It may seem like a silly feature, but it's not bad for those of us in the multimedia production business.

So do you recommend a tilt head with the 679?
