Mini travel tripod for G1X

any suggestions for a mini travel tripod for the G1X? Im traveling to europe next month and would like one esp. for night shots..

i'm leaning towards the Joby Micro 800 but concerned that it might sit the camera too low.. will the camera being so close to the ground or what ever other surface i find cause problems? ie force the camera to be aimed too high at a very sharp angle to avoid the ground from being in the pic? I imagine for raised surfaces i would have to be very close to the front edge to "clear" the surface as well..

thoughts?
