I love my Vanguard Alta+ 264AO.
I keep hearing people talk about the Outdoorsmans tripod and I don't get it for the life of me. No doubt they are great tripods, but when I have gone to Outdoorsmans and looked at them, I don't see anywhere near enough upside over my Vanguard to justify over 4 times the cost. I am totally open to them, just need someone to help convince me what makes them so great over others that are SUBSTANTIALLY cheaper.
