I did exactly the opposite. I
Collapsed it's the smallest of all full size tripods. If you don't like the
PD concept of capture plates connected on their bags and the camera straps
(which connect to their plates) the tripod on itself is a strange beast
with a very annoying head if you don't have pd plates on everything. I got

OK,
Carbon is less weight. The rest is identical its both so light weight the
bag hook is really needed in windy conditions. I have the carbon version
and to my surprise the center column is solid metal, its so small carbon

I changed from a tripod with a twist lock to one with a flip lock. It may
be worse with dirt, but is so more convenient to quickly set up.
And it won't slide down when fixed, as happened so often with twist lock..

I have a Feisol Traveller that I am quite fine with.
They aren't cheap. The newer ones have put anti twist stuff into the leg
sections which cures my only complaint with them.

Buy any old tripod you want. Because you know then that the missing
one will reappear. :-)
Seriously, I have a Manfrotto Befree carbon fibre with the 494 head
that I bought a couple of years ago. It is compact, lightweight but
surprisingly sturdy. That said, I have mixed feelings about it.
Peak Design is an option. For a tripod it's very light, compact and sturdy.
It's head is an annoyance if you don't have PD plates on all your gear.
Some generic arca plates (the square ones) also fit without trouble. If you
remove the protection stops all arca plates fit.
