you could look for a surveyors tripod - that are great i have one i bought secondhand - other than that there isn't too much locally-of the brands you mention you would be buying them into the country i think - other than that its modify a strong telescope tripod
i agree the manfrotto are expensive - but they really are built nicely..expensive when you get to 8kg..if you look for slik tripods- there are some older ones on ebay which are very sturdy
