Left field thought, i tried a lot of the modern tricky stuff in heads etc and they all work well and of course are expensive.
What i use exclusively for landscapes now is the Gitzo G 1270, precision simple does everything perfectly, and in tough windy conditions just works.
Best part is $100-$150 used, its the original master landscape head system made in France, fabulous mounting plate area unlike the pivoting ball heads.
As to weight just don't have that Cheese burger or that soft drink before heading out LOL. Its surprisingly not that heavy.
Size and weight is not an issue in my mind or case.
As to a tripod exclusively for landscapes or long exposure i prefer using metal Gitzo, if size and weight matters then i prefer a heavy carbon fire version.
Only an opinion
