if there is some where or way to supplement the height of the travel tripod, I suggest you take a look at this one:

and the more detailed thread about it and its capabilities:

I agree that the importance of the good second back up camera outweighs [ pun intended ;) ] what type it is

I have the K 3 and K 3 II but that is so I can use each camera mated to a good lens and interchange as necessary when I am in a vehicle driven by another.

I also have a small point and shoot Canon Powershot A1100 IS bought years ago to use should I not feel like hauling one of the DSLR

certainly I am not claiming that would be the best option but so far the wife isn't eager for me to go get a better ( more expensive point and shoot ) and I can't argue with that. She have been very good at letting build up the DSLR and lenses inventory :D

although it could be tight with your " luggage " plans, you might want to consider a " back up " camera just in case your main one goes down on the trip

perhaps an " experienced " Pentax camera body found in the Market Place ???
