I would note that a quality tripod head is a 10+ year investment, however. Frequently better for one's photography than a new lens. Not as glamourous, though, so biting the bullet on a new head or head/legs combo is painful.

Not only that, but like a camera bag, often people will waste money (and time) slowly building up to what they needed all along;

"You can spend US$1700 to buy a good tripod and head, or you can spend US$1000 and do the same thing. (Corollary: eventually you'll do one or the other.)"'

I think I had two tripods before I finally got one without compromise ($1200 total, not too much waste), and perhaps as many as four camera bags before I got one that could take me and my gear through hell and back (that was a bit worse on the wallet).

Please: could you provide what tripod and bag you ended up with? - Peter.
