Oh man,
I am really sorry, I can't recommend anything in that price range with
that criteria (and mine).

I have some very minimal requirements.
On this sticks side......... Two stage, with two support rails per leg and
spreaders.
The head......... Fluid, with pan /tilt lock. Pan and tilt drag, Ball mount.
Bubble level. And quick release.

The closest I can come up with will cost you pretty close to $600.00 through
B&H Photo/video.
And that is this one. http://www.slikbroadcast.com/products_lightweight.html
The DST-33.

Again, sorry.
