I have an aluminum sirui that weighs as much as the peak design and is stable as all fuck. It doesn't LOOK as sleek but it folds to protect the head instead of leaving it out to hit tree branches.
It was $40. I bought it used.
The tripod redpill is to buy the cheapest practical one you can or go all out. Highly memed mid-range luxury is the same everywhere, like invicta watches, mexican fenders, and acura cars. Priced between shit and half decent, but still the same stuff as everything below it with fake gold trim. Worse if it's as shilled on youtube and worthless corporate outlets like dpreview so credit card rich kids keep prices inflated.
