I have a Manfrotto 715SHB and I'm really happy with it for travel photography when I don't want to carry heavy stuff. It's small (folded under 14"), light (2.2 pounds), and cheap (I paid 70 euros). It's not going to work for you if you want to use it with a heavy camera and/or heavy lens (it's only rated to 5.5 pounds), but I only use it for wide-angle night shots with a Sigma 10-20 which is not a big lens and it works great.

I think people have used guitar straps, my tripod came with a carrying case, I never use it but I bet you could find someone selling one.

Ditto, someone wanna buy mine? My tripod is small but I think Manfrotto only has one size of carrying bag so my bag is huge. :P

e: actually someone can have it for free if they pay shipping from Belgium
