Hobbies are addictive aren't they? My father went through a phase of fishing where he ended up owning a rubber dinghy and a share in a boat on one of the Killarney Lakes. Then he switched to campervans. He's been tootling around in campervans for over 13 years now, eventually turning it into a business.
Photography is turning out that way for me too. My latest purchase is a proper tripod - a Manfrotto 718B to be precise. I use a Nikon D40 which is about as heavy as this tripod is graded for. I chose it because it was described as being light and compact but yet extends to a quite reasonable height. The three extendable sections per leg means that it does take a few seconds to get set up, but once standing, it's firm. The pan and tilt head is easy to control with no slip-back. It also comes with a quick-release head (just pull down a small lever to release) which can be left screwed permanently into the base of your camera.
The whole deal folds away neatly in a small bag which you can sling over your shoulder and take with you. It's a great tripod for the money (about E70 from a dealer on eBay) and should last quite a while.
