I have two of the 3221 tripods and they are heavy to carry but work very
well. I like the height of them as I seldom need to extend the center
column. One has snap-type leg latches that are quite noisy if that is a
factor. I have a lighter Bogen 3205 that is much easier to carry but is much
shorter.
I have a Bogen 3055S ball head for sale if anyone needs one. Contact me
off-line please.

The 32xx base is tall enough, but is a brute to carry around
extensively. It's especially painful to carry on a hike when
you've forgotten your quick-release plates. Right Joel?
My brother introduced me to the 3001 base and I promptly bought
one myself. It's really a medium-sized tripod, but has several
distinct advantantages:
