Budget tripods and monopods
The 75-inch travel tripod comes with a phone and tablet holder and a Bluetooth remote. The MS16 monopod folds to 17 in and is rated for 10 kg (22 lb).
The monopod states its load; the tripod does not, which its page points out.
Both cost under $35. For heavier cameras, the SmallRig CT-10 and the Manfrotto Element MII publish higher ratings.
A declared load is a static figure; it does not describe vibration or wind.
