I'm traveling and am looking for a light weight tripod for a sub compact
(pocketable) camera like the canon elph. I already have a slick U6000
tripod weighting 2.5 lb. It is overkill to support such a small camera.
Is there something under 1.5 lb? I need one to take long exposure (e.g. in
a dark cathedral) or self photo. Table top tripod won't do; it has to be
at least 5 ft tall.
Have a look on eBay. If your version is anything like the Aussie one, there
will be at least a couple of sellers offering (repeatedly) lightweight
Chinese tripods which, although junk, are adequate for a trip away, and
extend to over my head height (170 cm). And if one of the legs falls off
after a week or two, you've only lost $10-15 including postage.
I use mine with both a Coolpix 995 and a D8 video camera (although it really
is too flimsy for something that heavy.)
