A big thankyou gentlemen, that's exactly what I needed to know. Looks like my plan, then, is to use the gear I already have for the time being, with a view to replacing the 055 NAT with a stiffer carbon tripod reasonably soon. (As Andy says, the way the legs on the 055 wobble is a little alarming. It's OK, but I think something stronger would be good. Manfrotto if I can find something suitable - because I like the handling - but that's a question for another thread.)
I'll carry on with the 501.
