A gitzo traveler is probably a great idea for a portable tripod.
The manfrotto 55 is solid but heavy, I have one.
About the head manfrotto has now a new line of ball heads with friction control, thatīs very nice to adjust your camera-lens weight and have fluid movements. I think the new model is 494.
I donīt recommend the RC2 system, with a big lens itīs a little unstable, the RC4 plate is much better in my opinion.
