I have had one other SILK compact and the pan head can break off if dropped. The legs are easy to set up and very sturdy. Nicely compact to fit in a backpack and light weight. Would buy again especially if replacement pan heads can be purchased.

Sometimes a full sized tripod is more than you need or too much to handle, especially when traveling on vacation. SLIK answers your camera support needs with the Compact-XL tripod.
With a folded length of less than 16 inches and a weight of less than 1.5lbs, the Compact-XL can travel easily in almost any suitcase. The Compact-XL trumps the mini-pods class by having a maximum operating height of 43 inches, getting the camera up off the ground. Perfect for compact digital and film cameras, it can hold up to 2.75 lbs.
