I was overwhelmed by the choices especially when I have no where to really compare side to side. I ended up with the 3LT Brian CF tripod.

A new version is coming out, so the one I have is now $120 off, $340 for tripod and head. 3.8 lbs total, folds to 17". 80.3" Maximum Height.

I am sure others are better, but I thought it was a good mix of features and price for my usage. You can also use it as a monopod. I hiked Zion with it and found the weight and setup great.
