I think that is not a reasonable requirement for a travel tripod. That is why I use right angle viewers and flip LCD screens. My travel tripods need to fit inside my backpack (<14 inches)
For truly portable use, I use a Sirui T-1205x. Or I use a Promaster carbon leg set with an Acratech ballhead that I store separately in the bag.
