Portable tripod that fits in a rucksack?

[number41]

Anyone out there have an extendable tripod that can fit in a rucksack or similar? Being a biker I cant fit a full size one on my back so was hoping someone could recommend a good, extendable one please! There seem to be too many to choose from and I have no idea which ones are good!! Thanks

Good question, I have a cheapo jessops tripod that folds down to just over 30cm. I happen to know they sell a monopod that folds down to a similar size. It would be interesting to know if anyone else makes a better one that folds down as small (not that the jessops ones are that bad). All the decent brand ones I have seen tend to fold down to 50cm+ which is not ideal for in a rucksack on a bike! If anyone knows of any others, I would be interested to know as well.

Cheers

Dave

I have just bought one after finding it has a lot of recommendations on other forums from people so worth looking in to the range.
