New Travel Tripod

[sbeecroft]

I am in the market for a travel tripod. I am looking for a closed size of around 30 cm. not that bothered about height. It would be to fit in a non camera bag shoulder bag that I use when on city breaks etc. just handy to have for some night time shots.

Has anybody any suggestions. I have looked around a few of the sites and haven't really found much. A simple ball head would be fine. Looking to hold camera and something like a 24-105 at the heaviest but probably 10-20.

Thanks.

How about this one? Redged went bust some time ago so I don't know if Group Elite have taken over the products or what but the price is very good.

Thanks that's definitely the sort of thing that I am looking for.

Thanks I have had a look but they never seem to have stock available on their site and don't give all of the dimensions.

I have a 3LT Punks tripod, what dimensions do you want!!! Mine came from a dealer rather than direct.

Basically how small can it be made to be. That is the most important factor for me. Thanks

Realistically 35cm long when folded (inc ball head) feet form a triangle with 10cm sides

There are a few tripods that will go shorter when folded, but they don't have the height of the 3LT when extended
