Default Spotting Scope tripods?

Hey guys I'm looking at getting a new tripod for my spotter. I want something that won't break the bank, and that is not too big. Any suggestions or advice from experience. I was checking out the Vortex line mainly the high country or ss. What should I look for in a good tripod ?

Remove as many leg sections as needed, lightweight, extremely tough. Best tripod I've found

Vortex summit ss has been good for us and under 2 lbs. It comes in a pan head version as well. There are better tripods, but $$$$$$$

I've been using the Primos Trigger stick tripod.

That being said I've not used any other type than the one that came with the scope.

But the trigger stick sure works well.
