Invest in a better tripod now and it won't ever break! You don't have to break the bank either. I bought a Bogen 3021 15 years ago, and it is still going strong. I think I paid $125 for the tripod and another $50 for the head. Cost per year? $18! Cheap! The only drawback is the weight (9lbs) an that is only when I feel like hiking in somewhere to get a shot. Deployed from a car trunk, no problem at all!

I'd love to upgrade mine to a Gitzo with a RRS ball head. But that is some bank and will have to wait until I've got a few other more essential accessories.
