I am looking for a small, light tripod to use with a point and shoot (G16 or G1X) for a Europe trip. Small enough to fit in a small backpack.
Any recommendations?
Anyone used the Gorilla brand before?
Thanks in advance.

Lyndön Goldmember More info | Feb 01, 2014 03:44 | #9 I actually just went through this decision before a cruise earlier this month. I wanted something in could slip in a camera bag and have ready, but not have to lug around on tours (while also keeping up with my 3 year old daughter).

Just got it for xmas, awesome and very well balanced ... even with a gripped T3i. I also like the velcro wrap for vertical mounts. A deal for less than $20. It's some type of polymer, not cheapo plastic. 1D Mk3 | Tamron SP 35/1.8 VC | Tamron SP 85/1.8 VC
