Hi Terence,
I personally use a Gitzo 1228 mkII (no spreaders).  I agree with some
other posters that you don't need to spend a lot of money on this element.

One of the features I find very useful in the field is legs can extend
beyond the normal 30 degrees or so to about 180 degrees, this allows
me to provide a very stable base for my mics.  It also help to keep
the mics upright when spooling long lengths of cable over a long distance.
