It's quite a sturdy tripod...
The whole thing came with a tripod bag (which cannot fit the tripod with the ball head screwed on, kinda strange) and even had a spare quick release plate, which I thought was pretty nice.
Navyblue said:Not sure if we are talking about the same tripod, I use a Nikon tripod with the ballhead too. Mine can fit in the bag if you bend the head to the side.
jaix said:Hmmm... think it's highly possible that we're using the same tripod.
The tripod bag has a base... and the top sort of zips up all the way? I can't seem to fit the legs into the base... so my tripod goes in head first (without the ballhead) and the legs would be at the portion where the zip is.
Yikes... maybe I have gotten the orientation wrong all this while?
:dunno:
Navyblue said:Yup... looks like the same, the bag has a round base and the top is sort of pointed.
I think I can fit the tripod no matter head or leg end first. ;p But either way the head need to be bent for the zip the close up.
