Looking for a recommendation for 2 tripods (cheap and light weight) for my slider

Hi guy's I recently bought the Syrp megic carpet (long version, 160 CM). I use support it two tripods:
1. Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 (carbon) with magnesium ball head - when it's closed it's height is 65 CM and it weight is almost 2 KG (with the ball head).
2. Manfrotto 290 + - the Same weight and height.
It's heavy and when they are closed they are still tall. I'm looking for shorter tripod (when they are closed), less weight and not expansive.

I thought about the SIRUI T-025X but it looks unstable .. any recommendation?

Regards,
Moti

I use Sirui R2004, which are pretty tall, but sturdy... The T25X might be a bit small, depending on what you camera/lens you will be using. The Genie is pretty tall, so you want to have beefy tripods or it will be shaky.

I think the latter is the one I have. But the 1004 should work ok as well.
