Looking for a handy tripod with flash connection.

Any experience or recommendation for a light weight tripod with a flash connection to make my 430EX a slave unit for interior use?

Why not use a light stand. You can get something on eBay for $20-30. This will give you a lot more height than a tripod would with much faster adjustment.

+1 for light stand... but if you really just want something like a tabletop stand, just use the stand that came with the flash

I've noticed that some members of the forum use the term "tripod" to refer to what we in the US call a light stand.

This kit from Calumet works well. There are other, similar options available at B&H or Adorama.

Calumet also offers a compact stand that is essentially a Manfrotto nano stand. It is small and light. With it you will have to purchase the umbrella adapter separately.

The nano stands are what I use now.

But for basic light stands, these work well...

$23 for the pair, shipped free.

If you have the little black plastic foot that come with speedlites, you can screw them onto the top of the stands, or just add a couple of the hotshoe flash/umbrella brackets.

You are right, as a Euro guy I also have not heard about a light stand.
I have looked at several on the net, but most of them are too big and not very handy to move around.
Thanks for all the comments and advices.
