Thanks, I've already chosen one from a small quirky British company called 3 legged thing I'm going for the Eddie model (named after Eddie Van Halen I believe).

As long as it is not Eddie the Eagle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_%22The_Eagle%22_Edwards

Definitely nothing to do with that Eddie

It's a high quality unit which also has monopod capability and can take up to a 12Kg rig, it weighs just under 2kg with a carry case so I can live with that. It folds up pretty small which is what I was looking for. They're out of stock at the moment but there's no rush, I can wait, as an SD1 user it's something I'll have to get used to

Looks nice!

As I said, they're a quirky company, here's a quite amusing video on why they colour their tripods differently.
