  We describe Mini-HIPPI (Miniature HIgh Precision Polarimetric Instrument), a
stellar polarimeter weighing just 650 grams but capable of measuring linear
polarization to $\sim10^{-5}$. Mini-HIPPI is based on the use of a
Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal (FLC) modulator. It can easily be mounted on a
small telescope and allows study of the polarization of bright stars at levels
of precision which are hitherto largely unexplored. We present results obtained
with Mini-HIPPI on a 35 cm telescope. Measurements of polarized standard stars
are in good agreement with predicted values. Meaurements of a number of bright
stars agree well with those from other high-sensitivity polarimeters.
Observations of the binary system Spica show polarization variability around
the orbital cycle.
