It goes up to 19" with two sections and a center column, is quite adjustable and weighs a little less than a pound. Put a little Cullman ballhead on it, and you're set. You can look it up at http://www.gitzo.com. The next size up, the 0 series, will get you up to 37 inches without the center column, but weighs a little over twice as much. These are the smallest useful tripods I know of, that go beyond the table tripods. Note 'useful'. * Henning J.
