Lightweight tripod?

[tbrady]

Hey Guys,

After lugging around my spotting scope and tripod over all creation the last week I've decided I need a new tripod.  Something that is small and lightweight but can go around 30-40" high, high enough to use while sitting on the ground... 

I've checked Cabelas and other places online but haven't seen anything that sticks out...

Any recommendations?

thanks!

I bought a sert of carbon legs from amvona.com and added a giottos ball head.....makes a good setup.

really right stuff on top of a gitzo if you can spare the $$

I've been using the older version of this http://www.leupold.com/hunting-and-shooting/products/mounting-systems-and-accessories/binocularsspotting-scope-accessories/compact-tripod/for years, I use the spotter a lot scouting and hunting.
The tensioner that holds the ball/head in place wont stay tight anymore so I e-mailed Leupold asking about getting it fixed, Leupold E-mailed me back with instructions to send it in and they'd send me a new one free.
A really good tripod and a great warranty.

Gramps told me that there are two kinds of tripods. the kind you can carry easily and the kind that work.
