Feisol Tripod

Hey all,

Feisol has a deal on right now for their older tripods. I was wondering what you thought about this combo: http://www.feisol.com/english/feisolen.htm

The 3301N?

I was planning on getting a Markins ball-head but that alone costs more than this whole set up.

I am using a D200, vertical grip, 17-55 and 70-200VR. The most I'll ever do is get a 1.7 teleconverter for my 70-200.

the max load of this combo is 15.35 pounds...the ballhead can handle 41 pounds though so I think that there would be a sweet spot for that.
I'd love user feedback from those that have used this before. Thanks,

Nate
