Look for a photo swap-meet. Not knowing what size lenses/bodies you plan use on it, can only suggest you look for something fits your definition of "substantial". My primary tripod is a Bogen 3021 with their Pro ball head. Also, own a light weight 3001 with a mini-ball head for those times when much of a walk is involved. Both heads are quick-release. I don't mean to exclude any other makes, but only have lengthy experience with these two. When one was stolen, I replaced it with exactly the same set-up.
