The 028 is a big beast, it's got far more reach and load capacity than an 055, that said if you aren't using long lenses an 055 should be stable enough to handle a 67 (which I used with mine years back). The Grip Action Ball Head I'm not such a fan or, you either love or hate them I guess, it really shifts the weight about as it's so long, the new 322RC2 heavy duty grip ball head looks pretty good though I've not yet used one. > Can 1 tripod do all three or should i look at a general tripods and one for > macro. Should be able to handle most jobs, the )55 models that allow the centre post to cantilever off the head of the leg set can be a boon when shooting macros in the field, but some models don't have this facility.
