Well there's a lot of flexible tripods out there to show some examples

My experience with them was rather disappointing....
A monopod isn't much heavier and would do the same, you can plant it in sand, there are some monopods with three legs bases , but also they are not stable.
if you insist on standard stabilization I would go for the monopod... When I used to hike in Lebanon, I had a hiking rod on the top of which I had a camera mount screw, that was super practical (and free)
What I am doing now ? I stopped all the tripod things altogether. With my RF 35mm I am easily getting sharp images at 2 seconds exposure. With IBIS combined I can go even further.
Also you can take several exposures and blend them to simulate longer exposure. like this guy does

My EOS RP can even do it for me: I put in HDR mode, narrow the dynamic range I want (unless I really need High dynamic range) use Tv or M mode and press the shutter button... Of course you don't have RAW images but the JPGs tend to be quite good.
