Manfrotto Bogen
A look at what is currently available on eBay
Which tripod to get the Bogen Manfrotto 3011 (B)N or 3021 (B)N?
I want to be able to use the legs separately at different angles but the 3011 (B)N doesn't do that.. Does that really matter? Should I spend the extra $50 (3021) so that the legs can spread out at different angles plus the minimum height of 3'' ?
I do like the fact that the 3011 and 3021 support 13.2 lbs. I have a Nikon D70 with kit lens and sb600 flash and maybe I'll buy another lens soon but some thoughts would be greatly appreciated on the tripod factor...
3021 minimum height 3.1 inches

It's a personal call. For me, the extra flexibility and build quality wouldn't be worth the additional $40. This might be a leading brand, but they're both budget tripods. As for your two concers:
You can adjust the angle of the camera by varying the angle of the 3 legs, the extension of the 3 legs, or by tilting the head. So long as the tripod continues to offer stability, who cares?
As for the minimum height, why not flip the central column up side down and lower the camera all the way to the ground? You CAN reverse the central column, you know. Why limit yourself to 3 inches off the ground plus the height of the head (sold separately)?
I personally don't have much use for a tripod, so I went with a Slik Sprint Pro. This nicely met MY criteria:
* Reaches eye level, fully extended
* Fits in an Eastpak backpack, fully folded
* Holds the weight of a D200 + 70-200mm (just barely)
* Good build quality for its weight.
* Cheap. Just 80 bucks. And that's WITH the retractable spikes and a ballhead.
