Cartoni Tripod Beats Out Sachtler

My search for perfect video pans and tilts has spanned several years. As my video rig has grown in weight, my older Manfrotto photo/video head hasn't been up to the job.
I'd been saving for a Sachtler Activ8 system, admittedly, an expensive option. Then, on a trip to buy film, I spotted a used Cartoni tripod.
