I am quite happy with my current setup: Induro tripod legs, monopod, and ball head. They have both carbon-fiber and aluminum (I have the CF), and different quality levels (I have 3 out of 4).

Load, weight, quality, and cost are important factors in deciding what you want.

Acratech gps. The side "gimbal" is great to have. I use the Manfrotto 190pro3cx with it.

* Induro CT-214: 1.5 kg
* Induro BHL-1: 0.43kg
total: 1.9kg/4.2lbs. Picking it up, that feels about right.
