I' 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.

A light camera needs a heavy tripod for the inertia.
