Terry, This depends on your needs. I have read the other responses so-far and agree with both Bob and Shashvat. I have two tripods. My travel tripod is basic, made of aluminium is about 4 foot fully extended and collapses to just under 1 foot and fits nicely in my Camera Back Pack. It's a "SLIK Compact". My other tripod for minimal travel is very heavy, opens fully to about 6ft. It's very stable and useful. It's a "Cullman". I bought my travel tripod after my first and last experience lugging the Cullman around overseas. It's a case of Horses for Courses.
