greg, i'd also like to know. the tabletop forces me to do yoga sometimes when placed on the ground or bench. how bulky is it? how small does it fold up? what's it made out of? can i put my ball head on it?

Exactly!

But beyond this link below and the earlier one I posted from kb camera, have not been able to find any dimensions - extrapolating from the SLR is is shown with, and the leica on the kb camera site, I would say around 7-10 inches in leg length? It does sound interesting as a chestpod!

Hey Steve, I found another page on HP marketing's site:

http://www.hpmarketingcorp.com/PR/Ergorest%20pr.html

Here is an extract: "....(8.8 X 7.1 X 2.9 inch)...a multi-functional support that mounts to car windows, chest pod, shoulder pod, macro stand, flash stand and table tripod At full height (less head), is 6.7 inches high and weighs 1.65 pounds. Three camera/head mounting positions, double thread brass screw fits equipment with either -20 or 3/8” tripod sockets, stainless steel, covered with rubberized material up to 3.8mm thick, is adjusted with adjustable locking lever, built-in finger grips"

Looks like you can attach your own ballhead as well

thanks for the info and web sites. it's not for me: too big and heavy; i wanted a clamping option; i never photo from the car.
