Yes... and for spotting scopes, binoculars, downrange cameras... open to your discussion...

Im subscribing for info.

Ive been looking at bipods that can do duty for sitting and prone. I then saw an advert for a tripod on swfa. It ccould perform both very well. The big question is more about mobility.

This tripod extends to a stable height of 36inches and can go down to about 5inches.  It has full 360deg pan, tilt and swivel.  Legs are independently adjustable.  Very versatile, very stable.  I like it a lot...
I am certainly not acquainted with all tripods, but all that I am acquainted with must be carried externally and attached at point of use or set up as shown below:
