For travel I have a Manfrotto carbon fiber tripod and have several different heads. Any of them with an RC2 plate look like they would work for your system. It's a tough question, but I will say don't waste your money on a cheap tripod, they just end up frustrating you to no end.
Thanks!

I'm guessing that i'm looking for a carbon fiber, 4 section leg tripod in order to be small with legs retracted and light.

I have this Manfrotto ball head. But even though it's rated for what my body and heavy lens weighs, i have to have the tensioner as tight as possible to get it to hold position when it's off top dead center. Because of that, it makes the positioning of everything kind of sticky. I'm assuming another ball head that has a higher weight capacity will likely be smoother in action than this.
