Tripod Newb here, wondering if these legs are a good choice for my 60D

[Krunko]

Manfrotto 055XPROB

They're $160 - $25 mail in rebate. Is anyone else using these legs? Can anyone recommend a head for it. I don't need anything heavy duty, just something to handle my 60D and a heavy lens.

I would recommend the 701HDV

The 701HDV is a good choice. My budget was a bit smaller so i went with a Weifeng 717, pretty surprising for the price.
