Lightweight tripod recommendations (1 Viewer)

I am planning to go on a budget airline trip next year and want to take my telescope. I normally use a Slik D2 which is not that heavy but won't fit in my hand luggage and will add to the weight in any checked in bag. So does anyone have a recommendation for a lightweight tripod which may fit in hand luggage and would support an Opticron HR66.

Thanks

David
 
I've just bought a Giottos YTL8283 for that exact purpose ... it's light and folds down small enough to get in an overnight bag. Recommended.
