There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!
I was pleasantly surprise by this tripod:
https://www.amazon.de/AmazonBasics-S...1_TE_M3T1_dp_1
(buy my stuff on the German Amazon shop, although they usually ship from Britain (for how long ?) to The Netherlands )
Probably to flimsy for students, but I found it remarkably sturdy in combination with my lightweight Galvin 4*5, and the price is very good !
Best,

I'm not sure who is the sales representative of Berlebach these days, but last year I saw a discount price for a Berlebach Reporter inside the price range of $150.
It could be an option, and the wood construction being a plus as a alternative material, I think it will make a nice combo with a LF camera,
Cheers,

What camera(s) will they be using?
I know the carbon fiber Induros like I have are out of your price range but just chiming into say that the Induro stuff is actually really nice. Whenever I get around to potentially picking up a larger format camera I'll be going back to them.
I have a Berlebach with a leveling center post that I use with an 8x10 Kodak 2D. It sure is a bit heavy for me to move around, (as is the camera and everything else in 8x10). It work well and sure is pretty. The camera and tripod compliment each other visually.
My 4x5 Zone VII goes on a v intage (discontinued) Velbon Carmagne CF with an even older Velbon Magnesium ball head. Both are a bit undersized for the Camera, but weight is a major issue for me when working outdoors.
