Why would you use a full-size tripod with a compact camera? It kind of defeats the purpose, you might as well get an entry-level DSLR, still relatively light but with significantly better performance.
The tripod I keep on my compact (Fuji GF1) is a Manfrotto Modo Pocket. You just screw it onto the camera’s base, it folds away and is entirely unobtrusive until you need it.

Another good ultra-portable tripod is the Novoflex Mikrostativ.
Both are available at Palo Alto’s Keeble & Shuchat, BTW.
Fazal, simple answer really – I had the full-size tripod!
