Best packing tripod set up

[BUCKWILD]

Any suggestions on a good lightweight, sturdy, user friendly tripod to pack into the back country. I have the Swarovski ATM 65mm but also needs to handle a bigger scope being I might pack my Leica 82 at times. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

I used a vortex highcountry for years, the head sucked by the legs were ok. Finally replaced the head with manfrotto. Now using a slik.

I'm also curious on what everyone recommends for a new tri pod. Which Slik model is the best for back country type hunting. Needs to be sturdy enough to support swaro spotting scope.

Manfrotto BeFree Advanced. Great full size tripod that is sturdy with any glass and very compact when collapsed.

Picked up the befree and love it. Thanks.
