The MeFOTO C1350 is a well made compact tripod with carbon fibre legs and a sturdy Arca-compatible quick release ball head. This is close to as small as a usable tripod can practically be: about 16" (40cm) folded down, just over 5ft (155cm) tall with the column extended. Legs are twist-lock style, but the nice kind where the legs don't spin around. "MeFOTO" is probably not the first name you think about when you're looking for a tripod, but this is a very nice little travel unit that's well worth a look.
