[QUOTE="Retro, post: 491755, member: 37517"] I got a new Polaroid compact tripod - $30 - from Amazon. I thought it was going to be the same height as my old Vivitar, but it's considerably shorter - and longer when collapsed. But it is also thinner. In my view, it still qualifies as an excellent travel tripod. This Polaroid is 42", and my Vivitar is 51". I didn't measure the Vivitar before I ordered this, and it looks the same so I thought it was the same thing.
