Made of rugged, heavy-duty aluminum, the Manfrotto 209 Tabletop Tripod folds down small enough to slip into your camera bag or coat pocket, and is ready to give quick support to a lightweight camera. It features sturdy legs with sure-grip tips for stability. The tripod is 5.12" end-to-end when folded, and provides a working height of 1.77" when in use. The optional 259B column can be added to give an extra 10" extension.
