I was in the market for a new tripod because the one i had was not strong enough to hold the weight of my setup. I got lots of advice to spend $2000- $4000 on tripod legs. This was completely out of my budget but i still needed a set of tripod legs. After lots of research and searching i couldnt really find something affordable that had the weight rating i needed and reviews. So i took a chance on these legs from Acebil.

Now im sure its no Sachtler legs but id like to let people know my first impression.
They came with a great carrying case and are very light. The legs feel sturdy and the locks and middle spreader are very solid. I put my regular set up on there and it help up perfectly and didnt wobble at all. I even added an extra monitor and other accessories and still , very very solid.
My setup had the RED , with wooden camera dovetail baseplate 19mm rods, tilta ff, canon Cne , wooden camera riser. red pro top plate, red handle , red pro 19mm mount, red brick ect... basically lots of stuff on there and its pretty heavy.
While i know these may not last as long as some of the more expensive ones i wanted to let people know, dont feel like if you dont spend 3000$ on tripod legs your not going to be able to support your camera. Only time will tell how these hold up but the build quality seems great so im optimistic.
