I can't recommend anyting for less, because they all felt cheap to me, or heavy. I would look at used stuff on ebay. I tried that, but I couldn't find exactly what I wanted. What the pic doesn't show is that the entire head (Except Pan) is controlled by one knob. I was so sick of the wobbly plasticky four knob one I had before that I kinda went overboard with this one. It's rock solid though
