Giottos Vitruvian 8255 Tripod + MH5310 Ball Head Kit

I'm thinking of buying the above tripod and was wondering what people think about it?

I do a fair bit of walking so being light and compact is important and this one also transforms to a mono-pod so I only have to keep 2 legs in my backpack. I find a mono-pod when walking very handy but sometimes you just need a tripod.

I'm not sure if you have to buy the head shown above of if you can use another head?

I did buy a £50 tripod and found it was a bad mistake as it was as stable as jelly so I want to make sure with spending £250 I get the right tripod.

My dad has spent over £400 for a Manfrotto carbon tripod and it's very very stable but a little bulky for walking.

Any other suggestions welcome.
