Backpacking Tripod

coigach

I'm looking for a lightweight full-height 4 section tripod solely for mountain trips. It's only going to be used with my Mamiya 7II with wide lens, and will be mounted on a Manfrotto 494RC2 Min-ball.

(For comparison, I use a Manfrotto 055CXPro3 on a Manfrotto hydrostatic ball for my Pentax 67II + lenses up to 150mm (huge + heavy) + my Fotoman 617 panoramic. I use these cameras + this tripod/head combo for most of my landscape photos, but intend to use the Mamiya + 4 section tripod solely for long mountain trips where weight is critical).

Any suggestions? I have considered a Manfrotto 190CXPro4 but am open to ideas.
