Looking for recommendations for a carbon lite tripod that can do it all and use standing up. Would like to be able to spot and use binos on it. And possibly as a gun rest. Don't want to break the bank. thanks
light tripod for spotting scope, binos, shooting

How tall are you and what's not breaking the bank?
You basically have to pick 2 of 3
Tall, affordable, lightweight

There isn't really a lightweight tripod that will work well standing. It's asking a lot of a tripod to do so, and at some point you just need the weight. Hanging a bag of rocks from the center post helps a bit.

I have Promaster XC525C legs with a Vanguard PH-111 head
It comes in at 2lbs for the legs and 14oz for the head, I can stand behind it @6ft tall, and will run under $300 if you can find the legs separate. Otherwise if you like a ball head you can get those legs with the ball head for $300.
The real question goes back to what you think is affordable. IMO, for the quality, this is really affordable compared to other good quality options.

Here is your answer... I looked for a long time to find anything that came close to this. I was wanting a tripod that I could use in a standing position. This was my answer. Then there are million options for pan heads. I believe I paid around $200 for mine new.
