I've researched the tripod threads and found several people recommending the Manfrotto 3021PRO. Do you think it will work for me? My current kit is below but I hope to add some other lenses (feel free to recommend some of those too!) I like to take photos of just about everything but here are some examples. All of these were taken with my G2. I should be able to do better with my 30D and the right tripod.

i have the dynatran 858 and its heavy!!! While at b&h last sunday i picked up the 3021pro to see how heavy it was and it was alot lighter then my current tripod. I'de prefer maybe a carbon fiber tripod or something extremely light that can hold a telephot lens.

Manfrotto 3021 and a 488RC2 head will be just fine for you.

Wow, those are nice photos of the places you've been.
I've travelled with my Dynatran AT-CF994. It's light enough for me to hike and photograph wildlife at the same time (with 20D+Bigma mounted). Will take it with me to Zion/Bryce NP this spring. :)
The tripod goes about $170 on eBay. Great tripod for the money IMHO.

Thanks Jon - It's in my basket at B&H!

2005GLI - thanks for the info.

cfcRebel - thanks - those taken with my G2. I'll have to visit again when I get my tripod ;) I drove through Zion/Bryce two years ago. It was a business trip in March and the weather wasn't great. I'm looking forward to visiting there again when I have time to hike around a bit.
