Help finding specific type of portable tripod

Hi,

When I was in Japan 2 years ago I saw a guy using a portable tripod to take digital pictures at night. The legs were basically like the antennas you would find on a portable stereo(boom box) that it collapsed inside of itself and it would fold up to be about 6inches long

I can't find it in any store, on eBay or on the net. Does anyone know where to find this

 

I found all sorts of "mini" tripods. I was looking for one that expands to full size so I can take it on vacation and not look like a dork carrying a full size tripod around. It is easier than asking people to take pictures of my wife and and getting them with our heads cut off.
