I have one of the Sunwayfoto Tripods sold by Nightvision NZ. I got the shorter version but in hindsight I wish I got the taller model.
Pros:
Very light
Inverted ball head gives it a low centre of gravity and overall makes the design more compact
Not a pain at all to carry around, even in the bush
Comes with a QR Arca plate that also works with picatinny as well - very handy
Cons:
The shorter model that I got is only just a little to short for most uses when it is fully open
The ball head has a QR lever, but no knob for making fine adjustments, can be a bit fiddly to adjust under pressure
At full extension shooting standing, it has some noticeable flex, but thats the price you pay for the weight savings.
That said, extremely handy and allows me to establish a solid shooting position basically anywhere.
