Compact Travel tripod..?

[jonas646]

Im looking to get a new tripod and i want one that is compact and lightweight and still stands at least 120cm high.
I do alot of traveling and need a tripod that isnt too cumbersome and easy to pack around. it will need to support a 40d and 70-200. any help would be great!

Have you checked out the Flashpoint F-1128, distributed by Adorama?

This is a compact and light weight Carbon Fiber tripod, closed it is 21, extended it is 47" (55" with the column extended). At US$169 it is an excellent alternative to some of the pricier carbon fiber tripods. You can check it out here:

I plan to write up this tripod shortly on my site for traveling photogs www.flyingwithfish.com
