Really Right Stuff TFC-34 MK2 Series3 Ultralight Carbon Fiber Tripod (58.3")​

Really like the large diameter legs

Who makes a cheaper alternative to this model?

I think the Leofoto SA 364C or something in that lineup would be the budget option.

It’s a bit heavier and definitely not able to hold the weight a RRS is rated for.
