I am after a new tripod as I have bent a leg on my befree model when I fell over and landed on it!! Ive tried to straighten it but its lost a lot of stability.

3 options come to mind

Q-666C (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00K4N4C48/ref=s9_simh_gw_p23_d0_i2?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=1MPMKTNVW5DY2G2XT9D8&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=577047927&pf_rd_i=desktop)

Pig Iron model (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pig-Iron-Premium-Compact-Travel/dp/B00S1G0VHW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1437306042&sr=8-1&keywords=pig+iron+tripod)

Manfrotto BeFree (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Manfrotto-BeFree-Compact-Lightweight-Travel/dp/B00COLBNTK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1437306085&sr=1-1&keywords=manfrotto+befree)


It needs to be light and compact to fit in a bag or suitcase and strong enough to take a 2kg load. Also around £100!
