Affordable tripod for backpacking

Looking for an affordable and lightweight tripod and binocular adapter that I can ideally store in a drink pocket of my pack. My binoculars weigh 1.84lbs and I’m trying to stay in the 4lb range between the bino’s, tripod, and adapter. I have been looking at the VORTEX SUMMIT SS-P TRIPODbut it’s a little out of my price range. Can anyone recommend something a little more affordable?

What do you need the tripod for?

Glassing mostly. I do backpacking scout trips for elk with my friend every year and I’m also currently living in the Pacific Northwest so I’m using them for whale watching. Just looking for a tripod that’s light and packs well.

I’ve used a monopod with trigger for 15x. Worked great. Also, consider sitting pack up right and rest binos on top.
