Which Tripod for Sliders?

[HelsinkiZim]

I am looking for a tripod and I wouldn't want to spend more than 800. i wont be using any big camera set ups, but I will be using a slider system so that needs to hold steady.

Do the knock offs re-sell OK or should I stick with Manfrotto and other brand names?

What load capacity should cover GH4 with full rig up to slider system will Cinema Camera?

I would go with this one: Manfrotto 535 MPRO.

Only heard good things about it.

20kg load capacity, lightweight construction, good price.

Also take a look at this ball head:

All you need now is a Manfrotto half-ball mount and you are good to go, still under 800. And probably much more future proof than the 504, this ball head takes gear up to 15kg.

Manfrotto 535 or 536 in carbon. Complete work horses and super sturdy. Both would fit in your budget. I used to put a Kessler Travel Slider on my 536 and it's rock solid. You could probably get away with a 30 to 36 inch slider on one of those and be okay.
