A tripod that stays at home or in the trunk of the car because it's too heavy to carry comfortably is worse than no tripod at all: The money is spent, but there is no benefit.
For years I used a very sturdy, 3.5kg Slik tripod, but usually left it behind! A few years ago I got a Velbon Maxi 343E, and I carry it often. Not as sturdy and stable as the Slik, for sure, but with the center column down and my camera bag hanging from it, steady enough. See today's PESO for an example.
