My current gear is honestly a mix of "do I really want to get into this? I'm not spending this much on a tripod if I don't really want to get into this" ... and then gear slowly getting replaced over the years as things have broken or requirements (or even just my understanding of how things work) change.Thought I saw a Chinese tripod too
The Innorel tripod has held up great to be honest, but it _IS_ getting replaced with an RRS soon-ish because I want something that can go much taller so I can glass off of it more comfortably (at 6'4). The Leofoto clone ballhead is entirely RRS' fault because I tried to buy the real thing at the time but it was out of stock everywhere for the longest.
