need small very sturdy tripod

[Michael I.]

Hi,all!

I need a small(tabletop size?) tripod(one I can throw in a backpack\crumpler sidebag) which I can use with cameras from leica m4 to bronica sqai+150 lens+speedgrip(no mirror lockup).

any advice?

Thanks
Mike

Slik Snapman. Velbon Maxi 343. Gitzo Traveller. Or for table-top tripods, hands down, the bigger UltraPod, though I find table-tops limited.

Cheers,

R.

Hi Mike, I use the Leitz table top tripod and it's very sturdy.

what about the classic leica with ballhead?
I see you beat me to i
will it hold a med format SLR twith 150 lens tilted 45 degrees?

Mike, I just did a test with my Leitz tripod w/ ballhead using my heaviest camera (Mamiya C330) set at 45 degrees and it works fine.
