Greetings,

I am looking into carrying a travel friendly (small, light) tripod I could use when photographing mushrooms or early morning insects, and that could double as a monopod maybe for using with birds.

I have a light system (Olympus OMD 1iii) .

Currently I am considering the Peek Design Traveller tripod.

Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Don't know if it fits your needs, but have you looked at ifootage Cobra monopods? They have this "tripod foot". You can remove the foot part and the head part and put them together to get a mini tripod with ball head (or whatever you use on top). Very quickly done, brilliant quick releases. The angle of the legs of the mini tripod can be varied, there are three or maybe four stops, don't have it handy so I can check.
