Building on the earlier suggestion, Ive spent way too much time obsessing over grams for hiking trips. If the Peak Design price tag makes you wince, check out the Sirui AM-225 Carbon Fiber Tripod with B-00K Ball Head. Its stupid light and actually fits inside most camera bags.

• The Sirui is great because the weight is negligible (under 2lbs) and its very affordable for carbon fiber. Ngl tho, its a bit short so youll be hunching over for shots.
• Another solid choice is the Benro Slim Carbon Fiber Lightweight Tripod. Its even cheaper and the slim profile is perfect for side pockets. Just be careful with those twist locks in the Zion sand... it gets everywhere and can jam things up. Honestly for 10 miles, Id prioritize weight over everything else. You dont want a heavy rig killing your back before you even get to the good views.

I agree that the Manfrotto weight is a huge drawback for Zion. Unfortunately, many portable options are not as reliable as expected when you are using heavier RF lenses. I had issues with leg stability on cheaper carbon fiber models. The Leofoto LS-284C Ranger Series Carbon Fiber Tripod is a better bet for safety. TL;DR: Avoid bulky Manfrottos; the Leofoto is lighter and much more rigid for R6 setups.
