budget video tripod for Sony 600 f/4 and Sony FF E-mount

Hi,

I'm looking for a budget fluid head and tripod for my nature documentary shooting. Mostly in the rainforest of Thailand. I mostly use Sony A7SIII with Sony FE200-600mm (total weight less than 3kg) but in some special cases, I may need to go with Sony FE600mm f/4 (the total weight of the set is 4kg)

At first, I want to go with Sachtler FSB4 with Flowtech 75 but it's over my budget. Then I found Sachtler ACE M MS which is very affordable and It shares the same payload with FSB4 (8.8lbs). But I'm not sure whether the 600mm f/4 and A7SIII will be able to balance on the ACE M with mid spreader? Has anyone tried ACE M with full 4kg payload? were the tilt and pan still smooth?
Or does anyone has any other recommendation? Thank you very much in advance
