This QU 305B U-Pod Mini Tabletop Tripod with Mini Ballhead from Giottos can be used either as a tabletop tripod, or as a mini or handheld monopod. The included MH-1004 Mini Ballhead features an independent pan bed, and offers weight support to accommodate most 35mm or digital cameras. The short extension column can be removed from the tripod legs, which allows for a minimum working height of only 4.6". With the extension column connected, a height of 16.2" is achieved, with a respectable load capacity of 11 lbs.
