Thanks Steve and PTravel for your suggestions. I'm seeing a number of Libec
tripods starting at around $600 which weigh 5 or 6 pounds and collapse down
to about 2 foot length. Still too big, heavy, and expensive for a 1 pound
camcorder which fits in my coat pocket. The Bogen Manfrotto with Rapid
Connect plate (RC series) look better but have not found a really small unit
yet. Will continue to research this and thanks very much for the tips.
