| Re: A more sturdy tripod
My only suggestion would be to ensure that whatever you get can splay the legs to give "ground level" positioning.
I would say that easily 75% of my macro shooting is at low level, and the ability to get solid support at those heights is essential.
I'm not a fan of reversible centre columns, because you just end up with an upside down camera where it's difficult to get at the controls.
As the 190XPROB does have the low level facility, it looks like you've got things covered.
I personally think that the longer arm of a pan tilt is easier to control than ball head, but you might be better trying some out at the shop before buying, to see what fits your style.
