My current setup and preference:
Induro CT213 (review on my Photo Otaku blog if anyone's interested) is great in all regards. I'd buy it again without hesitation. Strong, light, a joy to use, etc. Best tripod I've owned.
Manfrotto 410 geared head, with an adapter from Hejnar that replaces the factory QR system with an Arca-type clamp. The version I bought also extends the top plateof the head just slightly so that the center of the clamp is over the center of the tripod (unmodified, it's off center with the 410). I am presently without view camera, but have used 4x5s on the 410 many times before and it was great. I currently use it under everything up to an RZ67 with motor drive, which is a notably heavier piece of kit than something like a Chamonix 4x5. Handles it with ease.
For the sake of ease of use on uneven terrain, I sometimes use the 410 head with a Benro PC1 panning clamp between the head and the camera. That way, once everything is leveled out, you can pan one way or another without going out of level.
Full disclosure: I do some occasional affiliate sales for Induro, but would be an enthusiastic and happy customer regardless. No affiliation with Manfrotto, Hejnar, or Benro.
