I've used the Manfrotto 128RC fluid head with various combinations of lens, converter etc., for years. It's usually steady as a rock, even with a Nikkor 500 f4 AFS + 1.4 converter it is fluid smooth and you can set it so that it stays put until you need to move it yourself. It has a solid metal quick release platform with a secondary locking catch. It's not very expensive at £59 either!
