The 2001, 2011 or 2021 seties, and pick your head. I have several earlier versions of the 329 head.
get the combo from B&H in NYC, or Cameraworld in Portland OR.. As a pair, they are cheaper.
wowzer is rught to a degree about the weight. That doesn't apply to carbon fiber or wood tripods though. Their material absorbs vibration far differently than a heavy metal (aluminum) tripod does. I just wanted to make that distinction for further info in case someone wants general info from this thread as well.
You can't get a decent carbon fiber tripod cheaply. Right now, almost all of the world's supply of carbon fiber is going into the Boeing 787 construction. Everything from race car body builders and carbon fiber bike manufacturers are feeling the shortages, and thgeir costs are skyrocketing.
