buy metal, not carbon fiber if possible..... then add three simple accessories
1: make a triangular webstrap and netting "Hammock" that you can velcro, tie or clip between the legs (I don't if you can buy this), so you can use it to keep gear off the ground by setting it in the net beyween the tripod legs...
2: get a water proof nylon tarp so you can wrap your tripod and gear (as above) to keep your stuff dry.
3: large metal water bottle and hook so you can use your tripod over a small fire to boil water.
this tripod and tart will also set up quick to use as a makeshift survival shelter.
I never carry ANYTHING that does not have more than one function when hiking or camping.
or Just take a big knife and whittle a tripod when you need one link

trust me... being able to set your tripod up like a little wind/rain blocking tee-pee will save your but if you need to make an emergency fire, and boil some water and dry your cloths... been there done that, in the arctic.

wrap the legs with plumbing insulation foam and layer up lots of gaffer or duct tape which you can later peel off if you need tape... also tape any screwdriver/allen keys you may need for feild repair to the legs.

As far as pentax is concerned... if you feel you can't make a decent photo because of the name on the camera...
well...
good luck getting better photos with a different brand...
I think you'll find with every brand and every product out there, new models, new technology or new production facilities always equal problems... from cars to toasters to cameras.... I'm positive other camera makers are facing similar challenges.
