I believe Feisol, Benro, Sirui and Induro all come out about the same.
I'm not positively certain that they all come out of the same factory,
but I certainly have my suspicions... :-)
I have two different carbon Induros. They're both a little fiddly with
the locking mechanism, but not annoyingly so. They operate in a wide
range of temperatures; the larger one has accompanied me to both
Spitsbergen (-25°C) and Death Valley (at a balmy +30°C).

My Feisol CT3442 Tournament legs are about ten years old and show no signs of
wear or age as yet. They've been used a lot.
I looked up the latest version and note that they've been uprated to 55lbs load and have
the new "rapid anti-leg-rotation" technology in the leg locks. The
anti-rotation gizmo would be nice, it would speed up their use a good bit. As I said, I
find the weight ratings absurdly optimistic—even the old ones!—but a set of these legs
will handle an 8lb+ camera and long lens very well. They're also very light and easy to
carry: all up weight of legs and head with carry bag is four and a quarter pounds IIRC.

Two strong recommendations for Feisol; I am already Googling as we
speak. I notice that Feisol is a lot less expensive than Gitzo which
appears to be the Leica of tripods in comparison. …
