Some typical prices and range availability.

I use a Velbon Sherpa Pro Carbon 635 which I love. Warehouse Express £156 without head. Or go to Bristol Cameras - £145 with free Velbon 157Q head. However I agree with Duncan about the Velbon heads.... so tell Bristol Cameras you want a Manfrotto head instead and they'll knock ~£20 off against the Velbon head you're not having, which means you're getting a set of CF legs for ~ £125
