Tripod Questions?!

Hi Guys,

I have a Tripod, which is the 190XDB By Manfrotto. I am looking to get a Fluid Head for it, and the ones I have seen and tested in stores are around 80 Pounds.
I am not quite sure if my sticks are up to the job, of carrying a 550D with a Mattebox and whole Rail Support on it. The 190XDB is rated up to 5KGs, so I think I might get away. The Head is roughly 5 KGs as well.

Now, I had a look on the Internet and found another two Tripods.

One of them is this Tripod by Konig: http://www.soundandvisionav.co.uk/pr...-FILMING.html#

It looks really decent, but what do I get for 200 Pounds? Im on a very tight Budget, as I am a 15 Year Old Film Maker. I know that I need a decent Tripod

The other one I found is by Konig as well and it is cheaper and looks different, well the Head does (apart from the Colour)

What do you think?

Should I stick with my Legs and buy a Manfrotto Head, or should i buy a Konig Tripod, or anything else decent in the Price Class?

Thank You,

Phil
