Free: Contests & Raffles.
I haven't established a budget for this yet, as I literally know nothing about them. I know I can spend about as much as I want to, but there has to be a happy medium somewhere. I know me well enough to know that I absolutely will not head into the hills with something that is going to slow me down, either by weight or size. So a full size tripod that I have to carry in hand is out of the question. However, I have been in situations where I know I would need a tripod that can reach at least almost full height in order to use it effectively due to terrain/brush, etc... I know there are more expensive versions that can collapse down small enough to sit and use and expand out for standing use. I just don't know which ones are worth the money they want for them. Keep the thoughts and suggestions coming, I'm logging names into the memory bank.

It does fit into the small pack on my back if I take the head off of it and pack them both.
Here's a pic of my tripod fits in side pocket of backpack and extends up to standing. I'm 6ft
