Need New Tripod

[Mr Yuck]

I'm in the market for a new tripod <=$120 for head+legs.

I'd like a ball head to use it with a video camera when I get one.

Something that gets really short preferred, it must also have a removable head because I will buy a panoramic head eventually.

Experience based suggestions preferred.

For now, this is to be used with the Rebel XTi + Lenses in my sig. (Sigma 10-20mm, Canon 50mm, Canon 100-300mm)

Thanks in advance.
