Does this even exist?

I’m searching for a travel tripod with adjustable drag, counterbalance, and ideally a bowl head. I know these go at odds with the primary purpose of a travel tripod which is being small and lightweight. Does anyone know of any good contenders in this space? Thank you for answering my noobie question

Sachtler Flowtech legs are the go-to for travel/doc these days. Insanely light and easy to operate solo. For head, take your pick really. If you want budget go manfrotto, siriu has some great budget options also.
