Hey guys. I am a freelance photographer shooting mostly people but on the odd occasion nature as well. I don't have very heavy equipment. I own a Nikon D300 with a battery grip, and SB900, and a Sigma 17-70 lens. My longest lens is a 70-200 Nikkor. It is also the heaviest lens I own. I do not know the weight of the Nikon or the lenses and flash combined but I imagine it wouldn't be over 12 pounds. I am wondering how I go about finding a good set of tripod legs and a head. I am most interested in the Joystick Pistol head's from Manfrotto, but I was wondering if someone could give me some suggestions on legs and maybe some other heads. I used the pistol grip on a job a fw wks ago and fell in love with it, but I am open to suggestions. My price range is under $300 and the cheaper the better, I'll be asking for it as a Christmas present from friends and family. haha Also, this sounds like a really noob question, but I've always bought sinlge piece tripods, if I by a head seperate from the legs, how do I attatch them? Is it simple to do? How do I know what is compatible with what?
Oh and btw I should mention I am 6'2 so It would need to be a pretty tall and sturdy set of legs.
Thanks in advance for some suggestions and advice guys!
