You could check out the ProMaster line of tripods - their SystemPro models have a center post that detaches and expands into a monopod - and you end up with both tripod and monopod. The series 1 can be had for about $165 with a fairly substantial ball head, the series 2 for a little more. MSRP on their web site is, of course, more, and they don't show the ball head, but it's available.
