Geez, after seeing some of the deals on here, i'm not sure i should mention my latest purchase, oh well
As others have noted, Costco occasionally has good deals on lightweight tripod, and i found a Manfrotto Befree one that couldn't turn down for $119. Not every one does, but i prefer the lever clamps to the hand tightened ferrule design.
48" height, 3 lbs weight, will support 8 lbs. Comes with a replaceable tripod head that has one tightening knob for panning/camera tilt both. Not an arca head. The best news about it is its got adjustable lever locks that are adjustable with a star wrench, included.

I have a large heavy tripod i carry in the car, but where i'm going to walk further, this seems like a much better deal.
