That will mean different things to different people. In other words there is no one 'ideal' tripod for doing landscape.
Well, I'm in love with the Manfrotto 055xprob. Prices vary from 150 ish to 190 ish or so. So it's in your range. I'm sure there may be others or better, but this one I have used personally and I love it. Easy to use, sturdy, and the center pole comes up and over to horizontal, allowing you to get really low when needed. Legs extend upward so you can get on rocks and uneven terrain. Just a good overall pod that I have not heard any complaints about, and that I personally have used.
I have also used the Manfrotto 190xdb, and was going to buy that one until I got a great deal on the above mentioned. There is one for sale for 80 bucks here on tpf, so that's a good deal. Not sure about weight of the 5d Mark III, but the seller can help you out or google it for capacity.
Maybe others will chime in with their thoughts in that price range. I'm just speaking from ones I have personally used.
$250 for just the tripod, or is that for the tripod and the head?
It's often said about tripods, that there are three main aspects...
1. Light weight
2. Strong & Sturdy
3. Doesn't cost an arm and a leg
The catch is that you only get to choose any two aspects.
Uh-hu.Baaah!!! So much arrogant money-wasting bull****...!! I'm so angry when people can only think in hundreds of $s...!
I have $25 worth old tripod and it works with everything. You just need to learn how to use it! That's it, period.
A tripod is good enough the moment it has 3 extendable legs and holds your camera for you.

Well then why use a DSLR camera? We might as well just use our camera phones for everything...except those are hundreds of $ as well. Might as well use disposable cameras. :roll:Baaah!!! So much arrogant money-wasting bull****...!! I'm so angry when people can only think in hundreds of $s...!
