    Get a light, compact and resilient one Munsey.
    And when you do, let me know which one you bought. :-)

    I have just bought a BENRO IT15 might be worth a look.
    I will see how it goes.
    Price was $250.

    At the cheap end of the scale I have a Gorillapod. It's Flexi legs make it able to grip a tree branch or other to get some height, or just use it as a low tripod. It's good for a small point be shoot.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    I seen these ( 190 grams) . Maybe set up on a pack or rock , swivel on top , legs fold in for carrying / stalking .
    My mate has a high end camera that we used but was too bulky etc but he used a mono pod . Which was a pain as you could not let go of it .

    I will dig my one out of the shed and measure it/take photo later today.
    It is not a baby one like that though. Probably 500mm folded
