There is on rugged built from Manfrotto
small enough to put into your vest pocket
and tuck away into a corner of your camera bag.
The No Centre Column Tripod Table Top
(Manfrotto Art 209) weighting a mere 2 kg
with a height of 13cm. Don't go away travelling
without it when you want to travel as light as
you can.

A small tripod should be rugged
enough to handle some of the
equipment that you are using.
It should be small enough for
you to bring it along anywhere
you go.
This table top seems to be attractive.
