I have been trying to pick up a set of 3001N legs used and a used head cheap but the one I found on FM I was first to PM but he sold the legs to someone else when I wanted the whole set. :wxwax And since its getting close to me needing this stuff bad I bit the bullet and bought it all new from adorama.com (saved a couple bucks off b&h). Heres what I got tell me what you think.

Bogen Imaging Mfr #3000N SKU: BG3000N

Bogen - Manfrotto 3000N - 3001N Tripod with 3025 3D Pan/Tilt Head

Siegelite Mfr #SI1035 SKU: FABS3510

Siegelite Stratos 35mm Camera/Flash Bracket with a 10" Riser Post

Canon Mfr #2391A001 SKU: CAOCSC

Canon EOS Dedicated TTL Off-Camera Shoe Cord 2, 2' Long.
I wanted a good tripod (not the best but good) decent bracket and the off shoe cord for the upcoming weddings. I have the flash so I can't think of anything else I'm missing cept the 20D and full compliment of L glass thats not in the budget.

I think your going to have a ball with all that new stuff

I have the 3001N nice set of legs kind of short for me though
And the adjusting knobs kind of tough in the winter

Bracket ...I have never used looks good to me

Have fun with all the new gear

Thanks. I know the head isnt the greatest but I am gonna go to a ball head in a couple months but I want a really good one. Then in a year or two I'll upgrade the legs. I can't wait to get it all in my hands.
