Yes that's true..........but if you cannot afford the tripod that does what it says on the tin then maybe it's better to wait until you can.
If you need a tripod, you need it for a reason. If it doesn't fulfil the reason it's not worth buying at any price.
Just my opinion.
Sometimes expensive doesn't fulfil the reason and that's even worse.
