Monopod Leg
Old tripod parts /new DSLR tripod/monopod choice?
Tripod parts?? I have a REVUE tripod its quite old and one of the brackets that hold the legs in place has broken. Do you know where i can find parts??
OR
Whats the best DSLR tripod to go for budget is £50-60 what would be a good tripod to go for. Also is a MONOPOD necessary with a tripod and if so which monopod is good to go for??
Thanks
The best advise for tripods is to buy quality - buy once. I've used Manfrotto Tripods for over 40 years, I'm still using a battered one I bought in the 1960's.
OK it will be twice your budget, but cheap tripods are a pain to use. With Manfrotto you frame your shot, lock the ball head and away you go, no drop no sag it just stays exactly where you set it.
I've never needed it, but Manfrotto keep spares for every tripod they have ever made.

changing a tripod head?
I just got a tripod for Christmas which is what I really needed its a great tripod. A 620-750tmbb by platinum plus by sunpak. its a great tripod, the legs feel strong and not flimsy, its heavy which is a plus because i don't have to use a sandbag when im on a shoot with my dcr-vx2100 and it turns into a monopod, but the one thing that disgusts me about this tripod/monopod is the head, its made completely of (it feels like anyway) low end plastic, when I move the head up and down you can hear plastic rubbing on plastic and it moves very squarely and not fluidly its a little janky actually. So I want to get a new tripod head for it, and I removed the head yesterday and its a screw on, I've never disassembled a tripod before so this is all new to me, and the tripod only costs like $80-$90 so i'm not looking at spending more than $200 on a new head. any suggestions for this tripod would be great and do most new heads screw on? any help is greatly appreciated.
Bogen makes supports with interchangeable parts. A popular head with videographers is the Bogen Model #3160. it allows for smooth adjustment of drag friction. However it attaches via 3/8 inch screw hardware, and most cheap legs only have 1/4 inch - 20 screw attachment (same as the mount camera).
