Looking for a tripod

I am looking to buy a new tripod, originally I was looking at the Manfrotto 546B but now seeing the head can't slide up (no center pole) I am reconsidering it. What would you guys recommend with the price being capped at the 546B's price

I have this, great tripod and has a centre pole that can slide up or down.

Video tripods do not have a centre pole as they are built for stability, look into Manfrottos photo catagory like the MT055 or MT190 or something

 

Why do you want a centre adjustable pole?

I want the center pole because it is much easier to bring the camera up and down for different shots.
