I use this one, usually on top of a table shooting interior shots. It's not cheap, but it is very well made and sturdy.

My recommendation is don't skimp on a tripod. I've purchased 4 or 5 tripods that are small, lightweight, etc. over the years. Sadly none of these smaller cost-effective tripods really do the job well. About five or six years ago I stepped up and purchase a carbon fiber tripod. This was the best decision I've made in purchasing a tripod. It's lightweight and collapses to a nice compact size and has worked well for me since the purchase. It was first used with my D90 with an 18-105 lens and now with my D750 with all my lenses including my 200-500 lens. I believe this tripod will outlast my D750 and work well for my next new camera when that occurs. Save yourself some time and money and get a good tripod. You'll thank yourself in the long run. Good luck with your choice.

I've traveled with a $100 metal tabletop tripod and the Platypod set up, but only for my Fuji X-T30. I also have a Manfrotto Magic Clamp rig like Joe Allam's which works really well for a full-size DLSR like the D850

For "traditional" 3 legged travel tripods, the Manfrotto BeFree carbon fiber is great.

Not with telescopic legs. Just a small table top style that you can keep the camera about a foot or less off the ground. Not really concerned with price

I have a good backpack pod. Was looking for one that would be lower to the ground, for a lower point of view.

It's surprisingly steady, albeit I wouldn't put a big telephoto lens on it. :)
All the Leofoto products I've tried have been very well-made, a cut above the usual Chinese imports.

Peak Design has come out with a new travel tripod but, I think it's getting bad reviews.

RRS has a fine one, well so have many others, Sachtler, Gitzo, and and and....... just google a few to see which you like best!

Really Right Stuff sells two. I have the small metal tripod and it holds my D850 with a 70-200 lens rock solid. I have the tripod from at least 1 generation ago, if not 2 So I can’t speak for cost. The quality is wonderful. The RRS carbon leg table top looks very solid, like it’s made for holding up a heavy video camera.
