I’m looking for a recommendation for a travel
tripod suitable for a D500 w/Tamron 150-600 G2. I absolutely love my Surui 2404-W, but there are times I wish to carry a bit less weight. Can anyone recommend a suitable travel tripod for this set-up, or am I seeking a unicorn?

Thanks to All

I have the older version of this 190. It is light and compact, very easy to carry everywhere as it easily fits in a small soft case with a shoulder strap. I do not ever hesitate to bring it along for weight or size reasons including air travel in my small suitcase.
It goes very low for close-up and macro work and it is strong enough for telephoto lenses like my 100-400 MII with 2X converter and 7D.
And the price is right and it is very well made. You can spend more but you can't get better.

Real tripods are cumbersom for travel. For lightweight and compact, consider the Gorillapod 5K. It weighs a pound and will support twice your camera and lens weight. You lens has a collar, so should balance pretty well.
