That will work also, provided one is also carrying a camera bag. 
And the wind isn't blowing above 15 mph. Lol

The old saying about tripods-you can have
Sturdy
Lightweight
Inexpensive
Pick any two…
Good luck!

Take along a bag and fill it with 10# of rocks and tie it to your tripod.
Thanks, my current tripod has a hook, so I'm actually going to hang my camera bag and see how that goes.

I like Vantage tripods, but sturdier often means heavier, unless it's carbon fiber $$.
Thanks

You can also hook a rope or strap loop the right length and press it against the ground. Not perfect, but far, far better than a 'string pod" alone. With enough wind, you want something to secure any tripod.
Thanks, my camera bag is pretty heavy and my current Manfrotto tripod has a hook, so I'm going to hang it and see what happens.

I recently posted regarding my desire to improve my landscape photography, and several responses suggested a more sturdy tripod. I'm currently using a fairly lightweight manfrotto tripod, and I'm wondering if anyone can suggest some thing a bit more rugged that's still a practical weight for short hikes. Thanks.
I use the carbon fiber Peak Design. It is portable and reasonably stable
