There are some Chinese-brand Carbon Fiber tripods on aliexpress.com, which are also being sold in some dealers in Europe and the US. Brand name varies but the models are called Q666C and Q999C. I've heard good things about them and I've been willing to give them a try for a long time, maybe you can have a look. They cost about 100$ with the ballhead included and weigh less than 1.5kg. Should be fine for your Nex 6 and Helios (Gorgeous lens btw).
There is also the Mantona Carbon Titanium that you can find within EU. Much more expensive but it seemed alright when I had tried it at the store.
Both Mantona and Q666C models can also be turned into monopods, which make them even lighter but I don't think that'd be suitable for macro work.
