I solved the tripod problem with a Kodak folding tripod made in the 1930-1950 era. There are several sizes. Although they are very light and look flimsy they are very solid when set up and there is no wrry about virbration. When younger I carried a 4x5 Ikeda, 3 lenses, 2 grafmatics, the tripod plus filters and meter on cross country skis. All of this went into a very lightweight daypack.
