Good budget tripod with complete tripods

Do you have too many tripods? I do not think so. I have about half a dozen of these and I don't really like any of them. First, the Q310 is lightweight, easy to transport and set up. It was easy for me to get in and out of the bag and it fit nicely in my camera bag. The foam padding makes it easier to work with your hands, but after a while it can crack and look dirty. The legs are easy to adjust and have a couple of bubble levels to make sure they are level. But it's not the strongest tripod I have. It worked fine with my Canon 6D and 24-105L lens, but I was a bit nervous. I also found the pan/tilt head to work smoothly, which is important for video. It can be tilted up, down and sideways up to 90 degrees. The main stand is easily detachable and height adjustable for use as a monopod. None of my others have this feature and that gives it an edge. Unfortunately, the rotary friction lock is a bit flimsy. The downside is that the quick release plate doesn't fit any of my other tripod heads. So if I want to use my camera with a different tripod, I still have to change the plate. This makes it less suitable for studio use, as I prefer to mount the camera on different tripods than constantly adjusting the height of tripods etc. It's better suited for outdoor use, since I don't usually change tripods on the go. But durability issues could become an issue in the future. Another disadvantage is that the angles of the legs are not independently adjustable and when used on uneven ground the only adjustment is the length. While it does have a few downsides, it really isn't bad for a budget tripod. I'll probably leave it in the car and take it with me as it doesn't fit in my studio.
