I happened across this set up. I've never seen anything like it. Not pushing Manfrotto, it just happens to be, the tripod and head. I just learned about these heads. I've been sticking my camera on the end of the tripod. Wrong! These things have three-axis adjustability, and take quick release shoes for multiple cameras. Both pieces was under $250, but I didn't really shop around. B & H is good for this stuff sometimes. I went on Amazon.



Handles extended


Handles retracted


There is a slightly less 804 model w/o retracting handles.



The tripod



The legs can be locked at different angles separate of each other.




The center post can be perpendicular or horizontal






It made all my other ones obsolete.
