In the "decent starter kit" thread Mr Anderson recommends
http://www.warehouseexpress.com/product/default.aspx?sku=1017664 (had a play with one of these today and took a liking to it)
and
http://www.warehouseexpress.com/product/default.aspx?sku=10921

but when i am about to make the purchase the head is out of stock. Can anyone recommend a similar one of similar price ? I prefer the idea of ball head over the 3 axis ones. Are there any other good sites that i could get this from instead of warehouseexpress ?

Thanks

http://www.morrisphoto.co.uk/ProductDetails~man~Manfrotto~productID~5912~categoryid~158.html free delivery I believe, very good customer service - I've bought three tripods from there, I bought mine in person as I was up that end of the county and when I got home there was a lug screw missing from the head - from the manufacturer, not the shop. Ordered a couple for work online, phoned them up and they put a couple in the pack for me - arrived next morning.

Amazon (themselves, not a marketplace reseller) have the ball head for £45 with free delivery which is probably around the same price as WHE with delivery.

Having placed my order with morris photo my nice shiney new manfrotto arrived next day  smile

Been out playing with it this evening and it is a cracking bit of kit, absolutely loving the ball joint on the head, such a nice change from the 3 axis ones, so quick and easy.
