Compact Tripod
Last summer while passing through Munich before hitting the Alps, I came across a photo shop that had a compact tripod set up in the store window.
I immediately grabbed the last two that he had because the shop owner told me they were discontinued. I'd like to know if anyone out there knows of the following tripod brand and model. Are they out of business? Are there others out there that compact? I sold the other one to my friend that toured Africa over the winter, so I am down to one unit now. I travel alone, so a tripod is a must.
The tripod is made by SUSIS, model 107, 8 section. Dimensions are 11.5" collapsed and a full 46" extended. It has a ball swivel head instead of the usual bulky head with adjustment handle. It is extremely light weight and as a result, not super sturdy in winds, but you can't have it all.
