Looking for a relatively sturdy table top tripod. I've just bought a handheld 3D scanner and there are times where you want to mount the scanner in one position whilst the subject being scanned is being turned on a turntable. Has to cope with circa 750g +_ and should go from maybe 15 cm to about 40cm.
 
Have a look at SpeedGraphic as they have a range that looks much better quality than you'll find on Amazon. My personal favourite is the Novoflex Basic Ball and mine must be over 25 years old by now.

I actually have one of these sat in a cupboard at home(along with the normal length screw in tripod legs). None of it gets any use, so if anyone is interested, let me know ;)
 
Opps shown one wrong height requirements so deleted post on the Moman tripod

check out Moman can be lower by twisting red ring which unlocks position shown below

View attachment 377766
comes with out ball head but I also bought the pan head Payload of 176 Lbs/80Kg . With ball head about £70+
Used rocket blower as a size comparison
I have the Moman and it is a sturdy 'beast', I have used it with my Gimbal head in a hide. The red ring you mention means it can also be used with the legs splayed flat out and in the case I mention it sat nicely on the hide shelf.

I have also used it for Zoom chat with a mobile phone holder.

But in regard to @andrewc request I wonder if a small travel tripod with the legs closed up will give him the height range he seeks?

12+ years ago I had a very small tripod. It wasn't expensive and it was actually pretty sturdy and would be ideal. I didn't really have a use for it back then, so sold it on. Now wish I kept it... Just can't remember the manufacturer. It would have been bought probably from Jessops or LCE back in the day.
