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.
