Looking for a heavy duty mini tripod ...any suggestions?
« on: October 27, 2014, 05:23:07 PM »
One of those really small ones... I have a couple that I use with my zero image pinhole but I still get a bit of camera shake so looking for something that's ultra sturdy yet ultra small (needs to fit in my work bag)

Anyone have any suggestions?

Anything from Manfrotto would be nice. http://www.manfrotto.com/photo-supports-tripods

They have some nice carbon fiber ones which are super sturdy and incredibly lighter than my aluminum one.

Damion - I have a tiny, aluminium "Manfrotto 709B Digi" unused and pristine.  It's definitely ultra tiny and weighs just a few ounces.  It's yours for the asking - assuming it's what you're after.
