I'll be interested in the answer to this, I have the same camera and lense and am also looking for a tri-pod. How much is this one if you don't mind me asking?
I use that tripod for my d40x. It came with the camera as a package deal when I bought it. It works but I don't like it. Its mostly plastic and feels really flimsy. Also the camera seems to move/ bounce at the slightest touch. In the future I plan on getting a better one and losing this POS.
