They won't let me go without them again. Sometimes I leave my family at home when traveling to lecture to large groups of doctors on eye care topics. Anyway, I am in the market for a very light weight tripod that I can lash to a Domke or Billingham Bag while walking around Europe. I have considered the thinnest Bogen tripod, 3011, with a small ball head. Cullman makes a collapsable tripod that lays flat but I'm not sure if it would fit in a larger camera bag. I picked up an excellent Bogen monopod 3249 and a Gitzo Reporter monopod. They are light weight but not stable enough for a pinhole lens on a M6 Leica. Does anyone have a recommendation for a currently available light weight small tripod that will extend at least to 5 feet. Thanks for your recommendations.
