LoganJ Member 174 posts Joined Feb 2009 Location: San Diego More info | Dec 29, 2009 20:23 | #6 I would suggest my setup then, Manfrotto 055XPROB legs and a 488RC2 head. It's a little heavy but it's not a problem unless you take it hiking. Comes in well under your $500 budget, unless you are looking for something fancier Canon 50D w/ Grip | 17-40mm f/4L | 50mm f/1.2L | 60mm f/2.8 USM Macro | 70-200mm f/4L | 580EX II w/ Sto-Fen OmniBounce | Manfrotto 055XPROB legs w/ 488RC2 head | PocketWizard Mini TT1 & Flex TT5 |Sekonic L-358

But youre not gonna get that with a $500 budget. The bogen/manfrotto setup most will recommend is much less than $500 and more than enough for most. [Gear List | Flickr
