I bought the 3443 and the Bogen 3437 Magnesium 3D head. I've never been
much of a fan of ball heads, or I'm just too used to my 25 year old Husky I
carried around. I must say that my back thanks me!! One thing I had to
get used to was that the 3D handle seemed backwards to my Husky. But a few
times out took care of that. I really like the Bogen tripod. You just
have to get used to hanging you bag off it to get some weight.
