With my gear, granted I'm still shooting Nikon film SLR's, including a Nikon F5 body, I use an early Bogen 3221 (Manfrotto 055B) with a Bogen 3055 ballhead (Manfrotto 168RC)... Has the capability of getting low for when I want to do macro shots in the field, but can be taller than I am, if needed.
The only thing I'd change would be either to modify my current ballhead to have an Arca-Swiss quick release on the top, or I'd replace the head with one of the Arca-Swiss monoball heads... May do that when I've some cash. The quick release system works, but it'd be nice to be able to use things like the RRS L-brackets and have permanently mounted quick release plates on each of my bodies (except for the F5, which would wear the L-bracket)...
Been shooting since 1984, when I was 9. Started out with a meterless Pentax, then switched to Nikon in the summer of 1987... Haven't looked back.
