I would go with bigger legs... You will easily push that tripod around if you add drag to your head movements.

Something like this...

or this is lighter, but still can support a good head and camera.

I got this latter one for around $150 used on ebay...

If you can, I would upgrade to this setup. The head can handle more weight than the 503 so if you have plans of putting on a 35mm adapter or something you can. The legs have a mid level spreader so you can still use it on rough terrain unlike a floor spreader.

and..... these always get bidded up to silly figures, because they're popular.

I use this combo, and I love it. The 503 head works great with an HMC, 35mm kit, and monitor.
