Well, I've gone on and on (just search 'mountain chaser') about Velbons, but heres one more plug for the Mountain Chaser EFL-4 vs the EFL-3 that francis bought

The EFL-4 has 4 sections and folds down to 21" vs 26" for the EFL-3 and is thus 'airline overhead baggage friendly'

The main advantage of the chasers are that they are very tall tripods and very light.

The main disadvantage is that they are incredibly flimsy and don't respond to rough treatment well.

p.s. I bought my EFL-4 for $119+GST (as listed on the website above)
