Travellers tripod

Going to the Philippines in November
Have to get a new tripod that is lightweight but still stable.
Due to weightlimits of only 10kg pr person I need a new tripod.
And it can't be too long folded either, max 17" or so will do.

Any good suggestions?

Whats your budget?

I love my Feisol CT-3441S w/RRS BH-25. Compact & light for traveling and very stable when extended. Good build quality and price for a CF tripod.

Check out this review, Might be out of your price range, but I LOVE it! LINK

Right now I got the Manfrotto 055MF3 which I like.
It is light but a little to long when folded.

So I was thinking something in that range: $320 w/o the head
Thinking of just using my 488RC2 to start with.

Tried B&H for this but they don't sell it! Where did you buy it from?

You can purchase the Feisol direct from the US importer: http://www.feisol.net/

I bought the 3441S a few months ago and love it. Small and light so I have no reason to not take it with me!!

Since you're in Norway, maybe this site will work better for you to purchase from?

Thank you.
But this is in German....Well, the pictures are the same
A European with English site will come in August :www.feisoleurope.com

$60 will get you a Slik Sprint Mini. You can also go with a Slik Sprint Pro. Both have removable heads so you can install any head you like. I have an Acratech GV2 installed on my mini. The legs are a little short for me, but it works and is incredibly compact.
