And since you are talking about a very heavy camera have you ever considered cinema camera heads, such as the O'Conner 50. Will hold up to a 50lb camera has all the features you need and can be picked up used for $5-$600. I have one for my Eclair NPR 16mm which is a 20 pound camera and use this large head because the camera vibration is dampened with the big head. Some people actually use a 100 pound head for a 16mm camera. Steve Annapolis
