I just jumped on YouTube to help you. I found an episode in the snow before he painted it tan later on. It’s a rrs (really right stuff) tripod and ball head. Very pricey. Watch close you can see their symbol/logo on tripodThere is a fellow on YouTube that comes by the name, "Coyote Down". Any members familiar with the name of the tripod he uses? It's a guy, his wife, and a young daughter shooting coyotes.

The vortex radian is a good tripod and ball head pricy though. Two vets are another good brand. The bogpod isn’t bad with a ball head I just couldn’t get used to their clamp styleJust checked out the tripod. Ouch! It is pricey. Would like to find something for my AR. Gotta check how many pennies I have left after Christmas.
VarmintAl.comFor under $25 you can make a pair of shooting cross sticks that work just fine in the field. I have been using them for over 25 years now for both varmint and predator hunting. I have, to date, taken 2, 014 groundhogs and over 100 predators with this system.
Combined with a lightweight portable sportsman's chair, varmint / predator grade accuracy is capable with this system. However, all my experience is 300 yards and under with this system.
They are much lighter than tripods, no fumbling with adjusting legs thus cross sticks lend themselves to rapid deployment when stalking. The downside is that it does take some practice to become proficient with them and you will get strange looks at the range shooting off cross sticks.
Mine are constructed of 1/2" diameter solid aluminum rod with 12" of rubber heater hose on the one end to keep the rifle stable. The other ends are ground to a point for secure implant into ground. The sticks are bound with 3/4" Velcro.VarmintAl.com
Great website. Al gives instructions to build wood cross stix he has used for years.

Bi-Fur-Pod (Shooting Sticks) Page
Make your own Bi-Fur-Pod.
It is easy and should take about an hour.
So. with the model for shooting while sitting what do I need so that it will hold an AR? Sorry for the question. Honestly, I have never used a tripod.I refuse to pay stupid money for a tripod when Leofoto works so well.
Once upon a time I had four tripods, including 90 & 80 Innorels, 90's great if you don't get far from the truck.

I've since trimmed back to two Lefotos, a LS-384C & a LS-324C, both topped with their LB-65 leveling base for all my coyote hunting.
The smaller, lighter 324 gets the bulk of the use when sitting, & will work for standing in a pinch.
If I know I'm going be standing, I'll grab the 384.

In addition to the tripod itself, you'll need either a ball head or a leveling base that screws on top of the tripod. A ball head has more range of motion, but a leveling base sits lower & has all the range of movement needed in most any hunting situations.So. with the model for shooting while sitting what do I need so that it will hold an AR?
