When folded, it is only about 20cm long and fits even in my smallest bag, a Billingham Alice. When fully extended, it is about 50cm and is plenty sturdy to carry an M6, even with a Noctilux, or indeed a Leicaflex. I find it much more useful than a tabletop tripod--the latter requires a tabletop or some nice flat surface and does not get your camera very far off the ground.
