I use a sunwayfoto fb36 on my velbon cf tripod.
If I take the centre column out and reverse it the head fits between the legs. The final length is 38cm. I take it everywhere I would have left my old large gitzo tripod at home.

My first half decent camera was a Panasonic FZ150 nearly two years ago.
I took a shot of the moon steadying the camera against a window frame.
I have only recently taken a sharper photo of the moon with a Sony A77 and 70-400G on a large Gitzo tripod.
