Does it come with a carrying case or is that extra? If yes, padded, unpadded, and is it large enough to put the tripod with a normal ball head inside?

It does *not* come with a carrying case. You buy one. The "real" inexpensive ones that purport to hold a 17" load will, with a medium -size head (like a Manfrotto 496) folded 90deg. TIGHT ! ;zippers are poorly attached at ends... Suggest you get case for 18-24" tripod, of higher quality ($). No specific suggestions, sorry.

It is just the tripod only, no, carrying case. You will have to do some research and check out the carrying case you want. There are a variety to choose from.

My tripod, folded, is 21" without head. I have a G1178M ball head which is 3.75" making it a total of 24.75" long.

There is no "carrying case". The tripod legs slide up the main support and the screen retracts into the bottom tube. You then turn the tube 90 degrees to align it with the main support post. So in the end you have the tube and the legs as one long, skinny unit. It's small enough that we can store them in the corners behind classroom doors. Their dimensions in the description are: 70.6 x 7 x 5 inches. But there's not a soft or hard travel case if that's what you're looking for. Although you could probably find one to fit it (some of the cases they make for sports/hunting equipment and the like).

I already had tripod and didn't have to buy anything else. There was no ball head like mount. It fits just like a camera or camcorder would to tripod.

It has a case, but it is more like a small duffle -- without wheels. I didn't keep mine; it wasn't particulary sturdy, though it did have custom padding.

In it's nylon case, 23". Maybe an inch less without the case, but this is not a super-robust professional tripod (in terms of either price or weight) so I would use the case.

yes, the case is nice with several zippers all over, the tripod leaves a lot to be desired... you may want to buy another.

Thanks, Luckybook. I have got mine from amazon yesterday. It is fantastic. I have prepared tripod, carrying case, a 1G memor stick pro duo for it and they all fit well. Voila~~

Yes, it comes with a battery and USB cable and power adapter. It comes with a carabiner strap, software CD for photos, a small circular macro stand that goes on the lens to reduce shaking, and user guides. No, it does not come with a carrying case. I purchased an additional SDK memory card outside the built-in memory. That's all it comes with.

The camera bas on the ball head would need to be placed off to side in order to fit/close the bag. The bag is pretty roomy also. but the tripod w/the head attached does have a minor "fit" problem easily remedied. You will see.

The tripod comes with a canvas case that is 4" x 14". Without the case it is slightly smaller than those dimensions.

Unfortunately, this is impossible to answer with certainty. Amazon sells more than one of these, some are fulfilled by Amazon, some by other suppliers. I got a paddeed case with mine that I find nice enough for my recreational needs. I am not using it to hunt sheep in the rugged Rockys. As noted by another purchaser, don't spend extra for the kit that includes the tripod. Arfter using it you will almost certainly want to purchase a better / sturdier / more stable tripod for this really nice scope.

Yes, Ball head is included. I use with Nikon D7100. You might want to consider a bag to carry it in.

Yes, it has a carrying case and is an exceptionally well-made product. I have 3 of them. They are very stable when set up - not flimsy.

this is just the Tripod LEGS. it's pretty confusing. I made that mistake. if you want the whole set up, legs, head, ball and bag go here. http://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-MVK502AM-Video-Telescoping-Carry/dp/B006LWHLSA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1357845109&sr=8-4&keywords=manfrotto+tripod+502

Yes they are all Cannon without cases, but the tripod is plastic and weak. The value of this bundle is well worth the money.
