Hi David.
I use the Gitzo 1348, a brilliant tripod.
On top is an Arca Swiss QR head with a Wimberley Sidekick.
I am more than happy and have used thi combination for some years now.
Keep on clickin.

My gitzo is the 1349 which is the same as John's 1348 but has a centre column although I generally us it as a 1348 with the additional flat plate fitted instead of the centre column. I bought it last February secondhand for £200-00 including gitzo 1375 off centre ball head. I use a manfroto 393 gimble head with mine but I am sure your wimberley would be better. Ifind it very stable and is rated at 12KG. Keep an eye for a secondhand model as I bought mine in as new condition for a third of the price.
