I don't disagree with you. In general, I have not been a fan of their products that I've tried so far.
When it comes to tripods, I want mine to be rock solid, and I'm willing to carry a little more weight to guarantee that.
Here we go (sorry RS !) one of my pet peeves ! Please define 'Rock Solid'. Because I use crappy Chinese travel tripods that have NEVER let me down in the mountains or for travel (currently using Ingjue CK-228 959g).
The only instance I can think of where I have taken a far more robust tripod was on my trips to Iceland (massive waterfalls & so winds, streams and beaches). Even then none required 'a little more weight' than my standard tripod (Manfrotto 055CXPro4 1,700g - maybe this meets your criteria though).
BTW I use my tripods for everything from panoramas to milky way/night shots through to very long exposures (3-4 mins).
