Lots of new players have entered the tripod/head market in the last few years. Most seem to have all the features of the best tripods from the past. I hope that they stand up to usage. I think that my Induro is made in Chine, like most of the new entrants and it's held up for over five-years. With my Arca-Swiss head, I had around $900 invested. I too did a direct comparison to Gitzo and saw no reason to go with Gitzo.
I see that you got the twist-locks. Sirui, you have a choice. Did you compare?
