Need Help For A Tripod...

[Polanski]

I have a 800-1000 budget for a tripod. I would like a Miller SOLO, but I don't have that money now.
One thing that is important to me about the tripod I want is that the legs open wide enough to set the camera real low for low takes.

I'll appreciate your recommendations... Remember only 800 or maximum 1000 dollars tripod.

Thanks

Looks great, but it only has a load capacity of 5.5lb. I think my rig is heavier than 5.5lb
7D+lens
Followfocus
Mattebox
Marshall 7" monitor

Anyway I'm to check the weight of all this together.

Gitzo GT3541XLS - this is what i bought for $825, after review of way too many posts:

Or - if you need or want a center column for another $25:

The only upgrade I can think of is to go with a 100MM bowl.

Jay, this guy (Gitzo GT3541XLS) comes without head...
How much is the cost for the head (a Fluid one) or it doesn't require head?
How does it work?
Pardon my ignorance.

Thanks
