Must say I'm interested in suggestions too, as the one I own is horribly cheap, it is very light however which is means it isn't too bad to lug around. I would think something made of of those light carbides would be great but they are terribly expensive.... Also to add to Crakmine's question, which type of head is better? I've noticed you can buy ballheads to add on but they are also not cheap......

I am, therefore I create.......
