Tripod for CSC/Travel

[dancook]

I've got some holidays coming up (denmark, sweden, sri lanka, dubai) - I'm taking my little Sony RX1R, weighs about 500 grams.

I'd like a sturdy tripod that is lightweight and easy to carry, fit in suitcase.

Any suggestions? what kind of head might I want to consider?

There was a biggish thread on this a few months back. It was mainly to do with Redged Tripods. I remember as I am considering buying one.

Can't go wrong with a Giottos either. Like the photos you took too... although I'd have stopped down a touch or focus stacked the 2nd one to get the text beyond the lens in focus heheh
