As you've probably noticed, I advocate the use of a lightweight tripod
for walking and backpacking. I recently mentioned my use of a cheapie
Jessops tripod.
However, I can't honestly claim that these are good tripods, and I would
prefer something of better quality, but still light, so I've been having
a look around.
I came across this page which is quite useful, although a little out of
date;

The best (according to the author's criteria) was this, at 3.2 pounds;

The best for lightest weight was this, at only 2 pounds;
