Hi Steve - I am using a Bogen 3021 BRO. With the side mounted center
post it is easy to get the camera right on the ground if you want, but I
seldom want to do that. The head that I use is just an old
Bogen/Manfrotto grip action head. The secret ingredient in the setup is
the rotating tripod collar on the A*200. It allows the lens to rotate
into any position needed in terms of simple horizontal / vertical
alignment. Too bad no one makes a short extention tube with a rotating
tripod mount - that would be worth its weight in gold IMO.

Mark uses; his photos are very helpful for showing overall technique,
but don't make the tripod's function obvious — it's not quite a Benbo
action, it's just that the center column has a 90 degree position that
lets you offset the camera from the tripod's center; third photo here
shows it:
