When your career depends on that next shot, you need a tripod that's much more than just three legs to stand on. Meeting and succeeding that need, we have the RC-8860 Vantage Series 5 Carbon Fiber Tripod, one of a series of tripods from Robus that delivers performance to satiate the most demanding image-makers, regardless of the conditions or terrain in the field. The 10x carbon fiber legs feature wide, stable leg tube diameters. Even at maximum extension of 63.8", these substantial cylinders combine with the tripod's anodized CNC-machined spider to support video or still camera rigs weighing up to 77 lb.

How does the apex/spider differ between the 3 series and the 5 series? I see that the leg diameters increase, but is the mounting plate the same diameter and the distance from leg to leg around the apex the same? Just trying get a sense of how they differ dimensionally at the apex and whether there's additional rigidity and vibration damping benefits in the larger series beyond just increased tube diameters. Thanks!
The mounting plate and the distance from leg to leg on both the 5 series and the 3 series are the same, the additional rigidity and vibration damping benefits in the larger series are only due to the increased thickness of the legs as well as larger modular feet.

Would this be a good tripod to use with the Edelkrone JibONE?
This is an excellent choice for the Eldelkrone JibOne. You should definitely weight it down with something like a sandbag or a bag filled with heavy gear with the provided hook.

How is this tripod compared to the LeoFoto LN-364C? Thank you.
Both have similar specifications on paper.
In terms of differences, the Leofoto LN-364C is just a tad bit lighter in weight and shorter in folded length. The Robus 8860 has a 10-year warranty compared to the Leofoto's 2-year limited. The Robus also comes with more feet accessories than the Leofoto.

Will this work with the Arca-Swiss Monoball P0 with Panning System ? or is the tripod base too big ?
It will work, you will probably have a 1/2" extra around the base. Typically tripods without center columns have similar size discs or flat plates. If you wanted a smaller base for the head, you can look at tripods with center columns.

The Robus RC-8860 Vantage Series 5 Carbon Fiber Tripod is made in China like so many fine products these days. This, of course, is subject to change during the course of production.

Which 75mm ball is reco'd for this setup? Will the Manfrotto's work? I have a Manfrotto head and ball on their sticks now.
Any 75 mm Manfrotto Video Head will most likely work. We do do not have a specific Ball Head to recommend.
