Included in the Box:
I've had this tripod for about 3 years now. It's extremely small when telescoped down (10" in length) and light in weight (about 1 lb), thereby allowing me to stow it away completely in my camera bag when I'm travelling. I don't even notice its weight when I'm walking around taking photos. When fully extended, its height measures about 40", which means you'll have to bend down a bit when taking photos. The 3-way panhead allows for complete freedom for orienting your mounted camera. The tripod is strong enough to support small to medium size cameras; I never had a problem with my old Olympus 3030Z digicam. It can even support my Canon SLR, but it is not stable enough to mount heavy lenses that extend outward (for example, my 1.56 lb, long Canon 70-200L lens produces too much torque and tips the tripod over, but my 1.1 lb, shorter Tamron 28-75 lens is ok on it). Negatives: the legs lock with a twisting motion, which is less secure than clasps found on larger, heavier tripods. I've had the legs start to telescope down on occasion unless I've carefully locked the legs. Additionally, locking the legs at a height less than full extension is difficult as well. Overall, a very good tripod if you want to pack light. However, it does have its deficiencies as noted above.
