Here is something we all might be able to use - a deskop tripod for $119.95!
Kirk Enterprises : Mini Table Top Tripod
ISAP member Jay Miller (a noted aviation photographer) wrote this about it:
"It’s small, it’s reasonably light weight, and it’s very well built. The legs are locked in position by the simple twist of a knob at the bottom of the center post. A standard 1/4-20 mounting stud is provided for attaching a small ball head or quick release clamp.
I had a spare mini Gitzo ball head with a threaded adapter when the Kirk mini tripod arrived, so I was able to attach it and go right to work. It functioned perfectly, giving me just the right amount of height for the type of low-angle photos I like to shoot. I can also attach remote flash units when required, and suffice it to say the tripod is strong enough to handle overly heavy loads of up to 100 pounds!
With legs spread, the tripod spans about 10 inches (circumferentially). Distance between the rubber tipped feet is about 8 inches. Height from ground to top of center post is about 4.5 inches. Would estimate weight to be about a half-pound. It is manufactured from aircraft-grade billet aluminum."
