Mini tripod

Anyone know where I can get a mini (extending to 2 feet) tripod, just so I can prop rods up "beachcaster" style. Lightweight as possible.

If the banks are soft you could consider a beach anglers sand spike.
Veals Sand Spikes
Simple but still take some beating on sand or shingle beaches.
Available as a single or double rest.
Single rod ?8.09 (Ex. VAT)
Double rod ?11.50 (Ex. VAT)

or

Veals Mini Tripod
The latest addition to our tripod range is designed to be used for fishing from sea walls, rocks or easturies.
It has a folded length of just 16'',so it will fit into a bag or box, and extends to a maximum of 24''. The head is fully adjustable to allow the angle of the rods to be altered to suit the conditions and it has a leg lock to hold it all securerly. The leg lock also has three trace hangers to keep spare traces to hand.


Price: ?18.30 Excluding: VAT at 17.5%

I cant remember which manufacturer it was for sure but possibley Gardner used to sell an adapter that enabled you to make a tripod out of your normal banksticks.

Sorry I cant be more help.
