Vanguard Alta Pro
It is not cheap and it is aluminum, which is a bit heavy. Add $100 and go for carbon fibre. Gitzo carbon fibre tripods are super lightweight and sturdy. Plus, used ones are almost as good as new ones. You can pick a good used Gitzo on eBay or Kijiji. Gitzo Traveler series are the lightest, yet very solid.
