Nice! I'll put gorillapod on my list. My friend, who helped me do my parkour video, has a real pricey Manfretto which is lucky (thanks for reminding me of it!). I'm thinking the 550D is the way to go. It seems like a really popular choice too, which is comforting. Hopefully it'll last a good while, too.

All I'm left wondering is what lens I should get with the 550D. I'm not too clued up on lenses, sadly. I have the standard 18-55 mm for my Nikon (Which I don't think is compatible unless I get some kind of adapter but I'm going to sell it anyway, so yeah). The 18-135mm on Amazon is an extra £200...don't really know if that necessary. But then separately it's a lot more. Do you know what the advantages of the -135mm over the -55mm one? Like I said, I have very little idea about lenses.
