Looking for suggestions about good travelling tripod. It should be light (<1.7kg and a small - folded length <50cm). Therefore 4-section rather than 3 section model as I want to be able to pack it to a suitcase when travelling. Maximum or minimum height, center column, etc is not that important for me.

Should be able to handle my D700. The heaviest lens I would like to put on its 300mm f/4 tele-lens (sometimes with 1.4x extender so 420mm effectively). Would be great to have a contringency for one class bigger lens - like sigma 120-300/2.8.

My max budget is £250 (excluding ball-head - I already have one)
 
well, my Adrian fits your bill quite nicely.

1.4kg, 420mm folded, and rated at 8kg load capacity.

for only £150 ex ballhead.
 
check the giotto vitruvian range, perfect for travel

I use one for travel (with a 5d Mk iii) weighs in about 1.2kg and easily fits in a bag. I believe I paid about £!60 for it
