First, I agree with the positive comments from other reviewers. I would like to add a few words with regard to the furnished carry case. I was impressed with the quality of the materials used and especially the design which allows me to carry with a Leofoto BV-20 Fluid Head attached. Although, not shown in photo, you may leave the handle attached to the head and simply fold it close to legs for zipper clearance. The case is designed with a taper at one end for the tripod feet while the opposite end is more cylindrical in shape to accommodate a variety of heads. Excellent quality and workmanship throughout.
