My guess is that neither of these would suit the 400. I do not want to spend a lot because I tend to hand hold whenever possible. Thank you.
What's wrong with the 'bagpipe Benbo'?
Alternative suggestion would be a Manfrotto 055 (even a 190 at a pinch) + 'fluid' video head such as the 701RC2.

WE kits
055+701RC2 = £139
190+701RC2 = £159

cheers,
Andy
