Wanted - mini monopod, extended length 10"-18"

I can't find one of these (they may well not exist).
The only ones I can find in this size are telescopic,
intended for selfies:

http://www.adorama.com/VEVCCA019M.html
http://www.megagadgets.nl/en/monopod.html

But I need my monopod to usable under compression
(i.e. the normal mode of use of monopods).

(I essentially need an indoor, table top monopod,
for reasons all my own)

So - anyone able to help?

WTF are you talking about, when you say "normal mode of use of monopods"?

Tabletop monopod?
So, please tell us the reasons, unless they might get you arrested.

Just buy a monopod which has a collapsed length you can deal with. Most
collapse to 15'' to 25''.
I have a carbon fiber SLIK which collapsed is 20.5''.

Here are a few others which collapsed to about 15'', should be in your
target range:

That Manfrotto $25 monopod looks like a good answer. Short, full length, a
walking stick and relatively compact.

Bottom end on the ground - click on the links above
and you'll find the one's shown not used like that.

Subject says (accurately) I need something in the range 10" to 18".

The only reason to buy a monopod is to get something that telescopes
and looks nice. For table-top use at home, you don't need either
feature.

Agreed. My use is not at home.

First, I was letting you know what monopod I had and what it had as a
minimum length.

Then for whatever reason you chose to ignore three options I gave you,
which collapsed are 15'', 15'', & 15.4'' respectively. That seems to
fall in the 10'' to 18'' range you are looking for. That is, if it
really a monopod you are looking for.
