I got this as my travel tripod and it’s a bit larger than I was hoping for. It didn’t fit fully into my Slinger 200 side pouch made for tripods. I did get it to work by only sticking 2 legs in the mesh side pouch and securing it with the buckle and that works fine. This thing expands fully to a full height that’s more than enough for me at 5’11”. It is impressively lightweight for its size, and solid enough to keep the vibration at bay. I considered exchanging it for the next size or 2 down but I really like its size to weight ratio. Now that I found a way for it to fit comfortably in my side pouch of my camera bag I plan to keep it.
