What would be a good lightweight tripod for a chronograph which would not break the bank?

I know a tightwad fella that gets tripods for next to nothing at the Goodwill or Salvation Army stores. For a chronograph, I wouldn't get anything fancy.

This is what I use for my Chronograph. It will fit in the same pouch as the Chrony, also. Light, compact, does the job for a Chrony. I would not use this for a spotting scope or Camera as it is too light. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics...&hvtargid=pla-195080036955&psc=1

Just watch out for wind gusts. I've seen many chronographs mounted to lightweight tripods blown over by a wind gust at the range.
Rich or poor, it pays to have money.

I have one of those nets photographers use to weigh doen their tripods that attach to the legs. You can put a rock or other heavy object in to keep them in place.

Put my Shooting Chrony on it and it hasn't even blown over yet. It's quite stable. Forgot the price but it wasn't expensive and works good for me.
