I am still looking for a replacement to the 503HDV - a new tripod system in fact.

A bargain buy is a Libec 38 which is a small step up IMHO. This head is better than I imagined with built in drag - there is very little to control. Legs feel rigid.
I think I may go up to the sachtler FSB-6, which is where a lot of shooters end up. It really is a nice fluid head.
I travel in fairly remote locations, so I am looking at carbon fiber - adds quite a bit to the price. The Miller Solo sticks would be good with a FSB6 head or even the Miller D-10 which is a combo that B & H sell.

I have a month before my next shoot, so I will report on my purchase decision.
