Best tripod/head under $800 for bare HVX?

What is the best tripod/head combo for an HVX that will run almost bare - a shotgun and maybe a small light? My max budget is $800. I've seen lots of people recommending the Libec LS-38M(2A) which runs $675, but I wonder if it's too solid for a bare HVX setup since it's rated at 17.6 lb. Wouldn't that actually make it hard to get smooth pans and tilts if I'm using only a 6 lb. camera on it? I'd prefer something lighter and easier to transport, with a case if possible, while retaining fluid motion.
