As per title I am currently looking for a new travel tripod for my upcoming backpacking trip for a month where I will be walking about 25km-30km per day and some minor hiking, so I'm not really keen on bringing some serious size tripod.
Budget : RM500 (or maybe you can convince me to spend more because it is worth it) Weight : Not more than 1.5kg Max Load : 3kg+ Head type : Dont mind ball/pan/tilt Leg Locks : dont mind
In case my gear is important to avoid tripod from falling towards the front because the front is too heavy, my camera is a7iii and my heaviest lense is tamron 28-75mm. Feel free to give me a slap of reality if my demands is too obnoxious.

Can consider Manfrotto Element. Light weight, cost about RM400+ Can support quite heavy load and super sturdy, 5D Mark III with battery grip and 70200 on windy location.
Went on some hunt today but I couldn't find the exact model, judging from the reviews that I watched in youtube this one left a good impression on me.

SIRUI A-1205. About RM600 but it's carbon fibre and its 1kg including ball head.
I managed to test this tripod personally today and I'm quite liking it, it's in my list of to be considered cause I'm not in a hurry.

Mefoto Air tripods. The good thing is their weight and one twist to unlock all the sections of the legs!!
I am using Manfrotto befree advance. Lightweight and can hold up to 8KGs. But the price is over your budget. I bought it around 800 smtg if not mistaken.
Its light enough for me to travel with it and it holds up my Canon 80D with 24-105mm/ 17-50mm lens good enough.
