Yo Zac maybe you should look into this little gem:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/EI717AH-Pro-Video-Camera-Tripod-Fluid-Drag-Pan-Tilt-Head-/120816366160?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c21377250#ht_3624wt_1152

And the QR Plate:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/EI717QK-Photo-Video-Camera-Tripod-Quick-Release-Plate-Mount-Kit-/120818883915?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c215ddd4b#ht_3488wt_1152

Full metal construction excluding one drag control, super cheap, and has been compared to the 701 as an equal. Some say it's better due to the fact it can be mounted on a plate for a slider without the bottom lock hitting.

Nah, I already have 2 manfrotto quick release adapters and trying to convert my whole stabilization kit (tripod,glidecam,slider) to all manfrotto release plates.

Is this you selling it?

If so doesnt 360 seem a little steep when you can buy a new one for 260?

Been considering doing the same thing, why don't you just go with a ball head though if its for your slider? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?is=REG&sku=754049&Q=&O=productlist&A=details

Because the ability to pan and tilt opens up a new world of creative potential.

Plus if you use a manfrotto fluid head, the QR plate is interchangable with the sachtler tripods. So if you put a QR plate on the bottom of the slider, attach that to his sachtler, then a QR plate on the manfrotto, and then you have a setup where you can switch from slider to tripod in a matter if seconds
