Nick,

This is far too tall for my usual wildlife recording, but if I can't get
close to the ground, I use a cheap and light camera tripod from Hong Kong
with a 1/4 to 3/8 inch adaptor. Look on eBay.

The cheap tripods I found still have telescopic legs which can adjust to
uneven ground. With a long gunmic or parabola, you need to be able to pan
and tilt and the tripod head will do this.
