I've had a good look around the usualy high street stores and can't find what i'm looking for.
I need a lightweight full height or 3/4 height tripod (not sure if thats the correct terminology).

I have to stress the word "lightweight". The lightest I can find is just over a kilo in weight which is not acceptable to me as I'll be out on the hills with it quite a lot. Weight has to be kept to the bare minimum.

I have a budget of around £50

If anyone can recommend a model or perhaps even on online retailer that I've missed I'd sure appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

Have a look at the SLIK Sprint Pro GM - 890g for £40.

Thanks Mark, thats a very useful website. I'm sure I'll find what I'm looking for there.
