is this a full size tripod or tabletop?

Full size. We love the Orion and there was more flexibility with the full size tripod.

I use a 20x60 Nikon Prostaff. The tripod is light and strong. The removable clip screws into any standard camera, binoc, spotting scope base. Do take note that the tripod is "compact", thus to be used in a seated position, it is not tall enough for standing. Light weight for carrying while hiking to glassing location.

There is a single bolt which attaches the camera to the Tripod, which I believe is a standard size and will fit all cameras. I have two cameras which it fits, but they are both Pentax cameras. It is a nice tripod

The tripod is a standard size. About 5' tall and it is really lightweight. But not at all a professional tripod. More like an entry level one. It works for me.

13.6 inches min height when used. The legs do not turn upside down, which would allow the camera to be hung lower albeit upside down. Higher end / more pricey tripods may have this feature. Actually, to go lower I use a tiny tabletop tripod. Overall the Slik Compact II is solidly built, and I haven't had a need to bring my full height Slik tripod since I bought this smaller model.

I don't remember. I'm guessing it is, but I returned the tripod because it's very short.

A place to put the tripod in? Yes, and I used it with my full-size tripod, no problem.

It is a full size frame. My guest room persons have given up on this item as being unstable.

That is a little tabletop tripod, about 6 inches tall. You will need to buy a real tripod.

Yes, it is. I love this tripod. It is lightweight, is tall enough for me and even my hubby who is 6'2" could use it easily enough.

It's definitely 6 inches and I found that you do need a tripod if you're using the zoom because any movement of the camera makes the picture fuzzy. I took beautiful pictures of the Bloodmoon that happened a few months ago. Without the tripod it would have been impossible because I did use the zoom. It's a good camera it's not a great camera but it's good for the price. I think I should've spent more money and got the EOS

I don't know. I purchased it as a gift for a friend who is starting to get more serious about photography, but hikes a lot. She wanted a fairly lightweight tripod. I will be checking up on how she likes it, and reporting back. I thought of it as a "first" tripod.

The little tabletop tripod is okay but I normally use a big bogen tripod I have had for a long time for a video camera.

yes, I received mine with a full size tripod, I think it's max at 60 inches.

It's very small - this is a very light weight tripod - it won't hold my full size camera, only my pocket camera.

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

It is a very well built tripod. However, the answer to your question really depends on what size/type camera you intend to use with it. I would be a bit leery putting a full size, digital SLR with a large zoom lens on this.
