3021 vs 190x vs 700dx

[bep207]

Which tripod would you recommend?
1. Bogen 3021BPRO ($150)
2. Bogen 190x ($100)
3. Slik 700DX ($100)

The heaviest lens I plan on having on this and my D80 is a 70-200VR (someday)....
I don't care how much the tripod weighs, stability is much more important to me

Any suggestions
Thanks
Blake

I have the Bogen 3021, have had it for years. I have used it with a Pentax 645 outfit and can (and have) use it with my 4x5. I have used it with a D2x and 70-200 and haven't noticed any problems. I have a Linhof ball head on mine.

I'd recommend the 3021 as well, but I'd upgrade the head to an arca-swiss.
A 70-200VR with a D1h, was pushing the limits of the 3290 head I have on now.

3021pro for me too.

Although I like tilt/pan heads.
