I grabbed an 80-10 EFHW antenna from eBay for like $60 that works really well. I used it for the first time on Field Day this year and got a 1.5:1 SWR even though I could only get it like 8 feet in the air. You can't get much smaller than a bunch of wire.

The chameleon hybrid micro is a good working antenna with plenty of configuration options. Don't know what your budget is.

One that I am looking at is the Super Antenna MP1DXG

I’ve been using a Buddistick as main antenna and for POTA activations and it’s been working great.
It’s also reasonable affordable, even for the pro model.
