The pole? You get 2, a short and long one, the shorter one I keep on perma as I often spider legs the tripod so the camera is hooting up form the ground:

Ah that little thread thing is for camera/equipment that don't use the standard tirpod thread! The tool on the right just is a screwdriver, a weird one at that :p

The ball head is very tough, I adjust the little screws so they're tight but not too tight and then the big screw is used to tighten and loosen for movement :)
 
Ah that part in itself screws off, I just screwed the head on to the main thread and have no problem unscrewing it!

Eat more spinach :D
 
Personally I'd go Carbon if you're travelling often. I sold mine a bit later and got the Velbum Ultra Rexi L and that's sweet, strong and light.
 
Then stick with the non carbon :D If I wasn't lugging the tripod around caves and climbing with it etc then I'd probably still have mine!
 
I will say though that I prefer the Calumet 7049 pro ball head to the red Snapper one I had. The Calumet one is just better featured and lighter, though more expensive. So while I'd keep the tripod if I wasn't travelling often, I'd certainly upgrade the ball head.

Personal preference of course!
 
Calumet have a range of ball heads of course, the 7049 is the top end one. They're all good quality of course (apart from the lowest plastic one I suppose!).

I think for the price it's hard to beat. It's got Manfrotto level of toughness and specs, yet half the cost or better.
