really interesting contributions. it's impressive what they do for top shots!
WS8 could be interesting for me, cheaper thant the rycote but probably less protective. If it's too windy, I probably won't take any pictures for the time being.
In any case, I'll first try it out of my window with the CM3 without wind protection. There's a tall tree there where the birds chirp in the morning. I'll also be able to estimate the influence of the wind.
At the moment dont like to use installations too large.
Would a tripod like this be suitable? It's light and easy to take with you. It doesn't need any special decoupling against ground noise? I have a good second-hand offer:

Just to use x6 for ambient field recordings, you don't really need a tripod, unless recording really long atmospheres... you can simply just hold it in your hand... maybe some grip, like this:

and if you need - you can then screw this to any mic stand... that tripod you linked is also useful, I guess. But I don't know...
I only ever used mic stands and or mini tripods when I recorded outdoors - or gorilla pods:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfCzxCsTKus - watch it - but the test between Rycote grip and Joby gorilla pod is useless - you don't record sound like that -. unless booming a dynamic dialogue scene... and even then... not so wild...) or I used nothing - the majority of time it was just handheld recorder or Rode blimp... sometimes Blimp on a boom pole - but rarely for ambient recording - just the Rode Blimp with deadcat mostly for that. Sometimes also screwed to a mic stand when recording some musicians outside.
So I guess - I recommend first using nothing - just a handheld recorder, then perhaps a gorilla pod as a versatile attachment device that also serves as a small tripod to use with the recorder only and if you don't want to hold the device in your hand - a simple grip (maybe even that fancy Rycote with a shock mount, why not) and finally the blimp for external mics (both of those you can attach to a mic stand (or boom pole or tripod) when needed)
With proper thread adapters you can attach anything to anything.
Depends what you plan to do mostly...
