I bought the same tripod as mafadecay here in news Zealand ,it came without a head $180.00 I bought a hydro ball head another $180.00. I purchased from trade me its like eBay it's solid as all aliminium and rock solid with my Nikon d7000 lens and ring flash, I saw so many flimsy carbon fibre ones that shook when I moved. in my opinion it's great , I don't go off hiking at 64 so weight isn't an issue
Are you sure that you are talking about the same tripod as the one I got? $180 seems like way more than I paid. I bought from Amazon brand new (1 year warranty from manufacturer) and mine came boxed with the head and free shipping all for around £50 which is coming in at near $81 today.
