I have tripods from all three companies mentioned above. You are right one is ridiculous overprices but it's not outdoorsmans.I'm gonna be honest here - I'd never buy a tripod or head from Outdoorsmans. They are ridiculously overpriced. I do use their bino adapter and mount, but that's it. I've been a photographer for over 30 years and there are so many great choices for tripods at half (or less) the cost of the Outdoorsman's stuff that I just think it's silly what people pay for their gear. But it's their money.
RRS and Gitzo are overpriced too, but you see a lot of pros using them for good reason. They last.
For what you're trying to do, there are literally dozens of options and the suggestion you add a weight bag or use a weight hook to stabilize the tripod is spot-on.
@Brightwhite I think you will find the Two Vets quite a bit more stable than the two little Sliks.
