The Sirui Traveler 5C Carbon Fibre Tripod with 3T-35 Ball Head with 3T-35 Ball Head – small and compact, yet extremely stable.
This high-quality travel tripod from SIRUI offer secure support for your compact or system camera despite its compact design. It is easy to handle in any situation and can be packed into any bag. The legs can be folded up by 180° meaning that the tripod can be collapsed to a height of just 33cm. Each leg is made of 5 sections with 4 sealed twist locks. The rubber feet ensure the tripod is steady on all surfaces. Cold-weather grips are a SIRUI standard offering control in cold weather environments. The Traveler 5 Series features a removable centre column. The head can also be mounted directly onto the tripod shoulder, increasing stability. For additional stability, there is a small keyring with a carabiner underneath the tripod shoulders so you can mount additional weight.

Bought one a few months ago for $160, it's a great tripod if you have a reasonably light camera and lens. I got it mainly for bushwalking and it has been good for that so far, it folds down to a very small and light package.
It's stable enough with my z5 + 24-70 f/4, which are about 1.2kg combined. The tripod itself feels solid, but the ballhead is a bit on the dinky side and was slipping a little for me until I really tightened it — I would probably replace it if my kit was much heavier, but as it is it's adequate.
Also keep in mind it only extends to about upper chest level, which I don't find to be an issue but might be a pain if you want to use the viewfinder.
Definitely worth it at $130 if it fits your needs.
