the bogan 055 is a good unit for general use. it's not the best, but the best are almost three times the price. If you want the best buy gitzo. . .

The 055 is a very good tripod, I like the wing styl locks cause they are fast and easy to use.

Make sure you get a good head, that's as important or more so than the legs especially for video. You can have the best legs in town but with a bad head your video will be less than stellar. . .

What kind of video camera do you have ?

I'm currently selling two tripod kits.

for a smaller setup I have a Bogen 3205 (green) tripod with a Bogen 3130 head. Asking $150.00

for a larger setup and might be overkill for you, I have a Libec H55 fluid head with T68 legs. Asking $650.00

Let me know if you're interested in looking at them.

Thanks,
Vince
