Go to http://www.giottos.com and look for the Tripod RT8000 Series. I hope this is a good news for some of you. I used that tripod everywhere since it is soooo small. I often just pull out one leg as monopod when necessary. Many times I even brought it in where no tripod is allowed, but no one care after because it is very small. Trust me, it is sturdy enough for my Nikon 8800, and this tripod size is even smaller than many monopods. It folds down to 280mm and can be extended to 1030mm - about the height of a door knob. Also, it weights only 530g, like several large chocolate bars. It comes with a nice black nylon pouch. I bought mine's at Superstore at $19.99. I don't have to carry one bulky tripod and one monopod anymore in 99% of my occasion.

Great Price, Great Product!! (Cell Phone Not Included)
