I'm building a timelapse slider rig and after fabricating the tripod mounts today, I realized that I need to pick up a couple of tripods to mount this thing on. :-/ A quick search on Amazon for some inexpensive tripods returned tons of results with reviews all over the board. I already have a Manfrotto 3021BPRO with a 468MGRC2 ballhead that I absolutely love, but I want to keep that tripod free for shooting another camera during timelapses, so I'm looking at picking up a pair of tripods to support the slider.
My requirements for these tripods are:
- less than $100 each
- ball head included
- independent leg adjustments (legs aren't linked to a center shaft)
- ability to get low to the ground without inverting the ball head
- they don't suck

The two that I have in mind currently are:
Dolica GX600B200 Proline
Ravelli APGL5
I'm leaning towards the Dolica due primarily to the most recent reviews for the Ravelly on Amazon being quite poor. The turn off on both of these tripods are that they apparently use proprietary quick release plates. I don't see myself using these tripods for anything other than this slider though, so I wouldn't need to buy a bunch of extra QR plates or anything.
Does anyone have any recommendations for other budget tripods with ball heads to consider that meet my above criteria?
