Played with the Leofoto anvil clone today and I have to say it's pretty good clone. They copied it pretty much exactly. The 3-way clamp is also equally nice with the clamp, slide, release settings that RRS has. The tension was easily adjustable and I got it to behave exactly like my Anvil.
I'd say the only complaint I could tell was that the bubble level on the Leofoto was complete garbage. It's a bubble on a white background and there was some artifacts in it too so it just made it cringy to look at. I like my Anvil-30's bubble (not that I really use it).
I bought the combo setup, I'll probably put my anvil-30 into their TFCT clone, since tripod alone was only $360 and I can't fathom paying RRS $1200 for what I feel is pretty close enough quality tripod. I'll keep the anvil-30 head though.
