C100: Rigged c100 : tripod choice

Hi !

I got a c100 MKII that I bought because I love the compacity and the colour rendition, along with other things.
I do mainly low budget documentaries.
I bought a benro s7 tripod with af373 legs because I needed to stay lightweight, compact, and be able to put the head on my monopod when needed.

Sometimes when doing interviews at eye level for 45'-1h , handheld was getting difficult, so I bought a zacuto rig (vct plate, axis mini, grip relocator) to hold everything on my shoulder with a ninja blade.

The rig is fine but is almost 10kg so, the benro can't hold it anymore.

Any ideas of a tripod that could hold it without being enormous (and too pricey!)
I really can't put more than 1000€ but I'm ok with used.
Ideally something a bit lighter than a sachtler s18 would be nice but the aces series are not enough I think...

Thanks !
 
if your set-up is more than 10kg i would suggest the 'benro BV10', the features you get are nearly as good as the high end tripod but without the expensive price tag! if your set-up is below 10kg, the benro BV8 will also get the job done!
