By no means cheap but they have what you want.

You should be able to buy most of this stuff from B&H, but the P&P might kill your budget.

Manfrotto should have all of this sort of stuff.

I'd start with a superclamp or two and work from there.

I agree with rigshots, pricey, but a great resource, both in kit and in info.

That being said, aluminium mounting rods, poles etc can be bought and crafted for much less from a metal workshop. The price I figured was about 50% less by buying my own solid 1" alloy rods and having them fashioned with the correct threads.
