This is a compact tripod for compact cameras. It's about 20cm long and has 8 sections. When extended, it reaches a height of about 1 meter. It's for compact cameras and small video cameras. I bought it about 20 years ago, and while it shows signs of use, there's no rust, and it's still sturdy. It's very compact, so it's useful to have in your bag or backpack when traveling. Thank you.
