Ultralight Tripod Options

[gtriple]

Do you use the long or short center column? That long one looks long, and am a little worried about it getting in the way while glassing, but with the short it only goes to 35" tall which under some steep sitting situations is probably not quite tall enough for me.

Also I think it's a little long collapsed to fit in side pouch of my SG backpack.

The short for sure. The ability to get it down low is awesome.

Slik 632 + Tricer-LP = 1lb 10oz. Great for glassing (sitting), decent enough for prone shooting.

Maybe I need to revaluate my desire to have a tripod that collapses down to below 15" because all the recommendations so far are for ones much longer.
