would this be easy to carry up and down beach or trails for photography when you need to sit down & let wildlife get used to you being still

Yes... it folds flat & has straps to carry like a back pack... it is quite large when folded flat, but it is lightweight & easy to carry. Hope this helps!

I would think so...it has straps to carry like a back pack. It is big when folded flat. It didn't seem heavy when carrying but I haven't carried mine a long distance.

My straps broke after only a couple uses, so the idea to carry it like a backpack no longer applies for me. It is lightweight and opens flat when not in use, so I carry it by the arm rest . It would be awkward if I had to carry many things at once. I recall the breaking (backpack) straps being an issue for other reviewers before I purchased it too.

Absolutely. It has straps on the back and very light. It stays nice and straight when collapsed. I love mine! One strap can apart once and I simply put it back together. It seems durable, but I just use mine at basketball games and soccer. It is so comfortable!

Yes it's very comfortable. It is a little bulky but flat and the shoulder straps can come in handy. Unfortunately both chairs that I ordered had construction problems (ripped stitching and broken zipper) and needed to be returned after 3 uses. I'm not completely convinced that they are worth the money at this point.

Very easy to carry with the built in backpack straps. However, sitting on flat ground might not be that comfortable. If you could find a rock or log to sit the chair on then yes, but flat ground I am not so sure about.

It would be ease for me to carry through the woods or on the beach. There are straps on it that allow you to place it on your back while walking.

Light enough to carry one in each hand or even both in the same hand if you are capable. I would assume that as long as the paint (powder coating?) isn't chipped off, it would be fine at the shore.

it is fairly stiff..it's not going to hold shape for action sports or anything but you would be able to walk without sudden movements with a go pro or cam of that sort i would think.

I bought this tripod for my son who does mainly nature photography. He says "Yes, absolutely. This tripod can turn your camera straight down to look at the subject being photographed". He loves this tripod and has no trouble with the stability in spite of the heavy telephoto lenses he uses. It's lightweight and easy to transport, yet very durable.

I agree with Wayne R Raths comment especially with weighing it down. It's just like carrying your average beach chair, it's easy. It's not large at all. Has a strap to put over your shoulder. Hope this helps!

having been a backpacker in younger years ,I would say this trail hawk is a little too heavy. for hiking, if you carried it on your belt it should work for you

Hi, I think this will be perfect for you, it has the right size and it's confortable to carry on your back. I used this in my trips to the rainforest and mountains.

It depends on how you're willing to trade-off the tripod's superb mechanical attributes with weight. I think it's pretty heavy but if you need flexibility as far as positioning the tripod and need substantive structural support, then this is a great product. The best tripod I own really. But I think it's too heavy for a long hike or a casual photo-op around town unless you plan to wear a good backpack. Hope this helps!

Yes easily, the camera MUCH heavier than my iPhone 5s. Be sure that case is waterproof!

It's lightweight so it's good for point and shoots, cell phones, and the GoPro but if you are going to use it with a DSLR you might want something a little beefier. Maybe more like this one: AmazonBasics 67-Inch Monopod

Strap is sturdy and extra long. Camera connects to the strap via a metal connector which screws into the tripod mount. A big DSLR and a zoom would be as awkward as it would be with any other strap. I use it most when I hike with a bulky fixed lens digital. I find that it hangs comfortably in the back on top of my day pack or in front, if I shorten up the strap. Having backpacked in the past [but never with this strap] I would imagine you would want to shorten it up and hang it on your chest. I think it would be versatile enough for that.

I only use this in the yard. It would not be convenient to carry while walking. I think it would be cumbersome.

It would definitely be easy to use at a tanning salon I'm very happy with the purchase and the tent . The chord is kind of stiff so it doesn't roll up and that makes it kind of bulky to transport. But its an amazing piece of equipment

Yes, it is very rugged and can handle the beach with ease. I love mine. Dan

I found it to be very easy to fold and carry. The frame is substantial so it has a little weight but not uncomfortable heavy.

It's light weight makes it easy to move around, but, the weight of your camera may determine the need a heavier tripod. Pans with a heavy camera may be difficult.

It would be easy to carry overseas. It is light weight and has it's own carrying bag
