Right on, Brad! I've got a Slik U212 under a Bogen 3030 head. The Bogen
can stay, but the Slik has GOT to go.
Actually, I think the Slik would be better if the legs were longer. Because
of my height (6'2") I use the center post too much. As John Shaw points
out, using the center post is like putting a monopod on your tripod.
