I just grabbed one of these new at a Buy It Now auction for $65. It looks like it will attach to my Mini Trekker and make a handy goes-anywhere/everywhere travel tripod. Thanks for the tip.

I agree on the Velbon 343e. A really good tripod, no, but amazingly good for a small, light tripod. In addition to being 'better than no tripod' it's better than a tripod that's not set up yet, as it is very quick and easy to set up and take down. I've been thinking about getting a velcro strap to hold the legs together at the bottom when extended and trying it as a hicking stick. It's light enough, but not comfortable to grip at/near the top. Maybe a handle that screws on in place of the ball head, which can be carried easily in a pocket. Humm.........

I don't offer one however will allow that I have just purchased a Velbon Maxi 343e with the intent of strapping it to my camera case and sliding it under an airplane seat. Don't expect it to hold an OM and a 400mm Tamron, however for a relatively light travel kit, it should be just the ticket. Metal construction, ball head, under 2 pounds , 18 1/2 inches folded and under $100. Bill Barber
