Default Table Top Tripod

Can anyone recommend a good, new table top tripod, at a reasonable price?

I want to use it with a set of Olympus bellows.
Fed up of kicking the legs on my full size tripod. It always seems to happen when I have just tweeked everything to perfection.

The last mini tripod that I had went into the bin as the plastic parts slowly crazed and cracked then finally gave up the ghost.
I have managed without one for years, but my patience is getting a bit thin with kicking the big tripod every now and then.

Cheers all.

Have a look at the Manfrotto range: https://www.manfrotto.com/global/pro.../mini-tripods/

I would also recommend Manfrotto as a brand, as I have bought two different tripods and heads in their range, along with a mono-pod and find them to be excellent quality and value.

You don't mention what type you want exactly - a one sized one or one with extendable legs?

I've just checked ebay UK and there are a good number of new ones, but as is the way, from what I can tell, good prices up to the ridiculous for what appears to be the same model. Well worth a look though:

I’d second the Leica suggestion. I have just bought their mini tripod and a Leica ball and socket head for £45 on the auction site. Very solid and mine was like new when it arrived.

I’ll second the Leica tabletop tripod. Leica has a large ball head and a small head.
