Yea no biggy, the large one does pack small but is clunky.

I do like the manfrotto table-top over any others out there.

I have looked at the Cullmann table-top tripod more than once and find the design not only a bit awkward,but difficult to pack. The Cullmann does take up a small packed footprint, but it's ability to be very low profile seems to be larger than I'd like.

I am not against this tripods, I am sure they are very good, they just aren't best for my needs.

Happy Flying

Have you considered one of these?

I don’t know how often your need for a full-size tripod comes up but this is the most compact you will get. Comes with a ballhead also.

Maybe this is a strap-worthy packing tip? J/K

They also have this nice compact table top version
