If I recall, Bogan makes really nice camera tripods. My wife used them when she was in gradschool and teaching photography. However this was about 25 years ago.

If you want pan and tilt, that feature is not as popular as a ball head. They work quite differently. Would not want a ball head for a twenty pound load

RRS makes a really good trypod, but it's expensive. 

Two Vets tripod makes a carbon fiber that's cheaper and good.  Less expensive. 

I use this.

Cheap and effective. 

Ball heads are a bit different. 

RRS anvil 30 is fantastic, but you don't have an independent pan feature. If you're starting off with a trypod, you'll have a learning curve. Kinda ruff on a $1500 trypod. I use this head.

I changed the clamp. It will use arca rail or pic.

It's a good rig, but it's heavier than a RRS
