Hi everybody, I want to buy the Gitzo tripod and head. I have a 50D body and the most heavy lenses are Canon 100-400mm and Canon180mm Macro. Do you think GT1541T and GH2781TQR are good match and strong enough for my gears? Besides, can any C Hing tell me where can I get the best deal? Why Gitzo?! Just because I like its design!

I have just learned from some other forums that the Gitzo's ballheads are not secure enough for holding the gears and even quite risky when changing shooting angle (easily to lose balance and fall down)!!! If this is right.....then would any C Hing tell me which ballheads are good?! Besides, I also love to have a panning lever with the head. Please help.....

How about GT1541T + Markins Q3TR? Is this combo OK? Please comment.....
