Will this work as a "travel" tripod? What is the length when legs are collapsed?

I would not depend on this tripod to make the trip. Lots if plastic that does not hold together well. Only used mine around the house / yard and it started falling apart on day 6.

I think it's a great travel tripod. It' very light weight, it's only 26" long when collapsed and it comes with its own travel bag.

Great size for travel about 36 inches fits in over head in plane Make sure you check the tripod before you take off as mine was not level and no way to fix itNot real steady but good enough for what Inwanted.

It should do. I have used mine on a gizto traveller's tripod which is very light and it worked fine, so the weight should not be an issue.

It is about 18 inches collapsed and should fit in most carry on bags or backpacks. It is a little too long to fit in most camera bags.

Hi,You can fold the legs up completely and use as a monopod. However, it does not extend very high.Rick

This tripod is approximatey 1'5" long when closed. BTW, this is a fantastic tripod.

i do not believe it is that flexible and if you are trying to use as a tripod, it would probably fall over. i was not impressed with my gorillapod and it was very flimsy before it broke to pieces. a friend had similar issues with it falling apart. i have been very happy with my Pedco UltraPod II. check it out and see if it is what you are looking for.

Not exactly sure how tall it is without getting it out. However, it's not as tall as my professional Photography Tripods. It's adequate and works alright, but is rather lightweight. Not entirely displeased with it, but it could be a bit better. For the money, it's acceptable.

The right answer is yes, but take into consideration that the tripod included is very small, maybe 4-5 inches tall.

Small tripod, legs extend 5 inches making total height of tripod about 7 inches

Since this tripod in folded position measured about two and a half feet, a large camping backpack will contain this tripod easily. However, this tripod will not fit inside your normal day-pack.

NO! It will not bear the weight of that. The plastic leg locks will break and collapse, already tried it, don't risk an expensive camera on a cheap one-use tripod like this.

I am only 5'7" and it is not a problem with the length. It cannot be used with a tripod as the attachment to the camera is at the screw-mount on the base of the camera.

You could close the tripod and push the legs together and carry it around like a monopod , but it is not a monopod. If you really want a monopod I would suggest a Dolica WT-1003. Its lightweight, aluminum and very easy to pack or carry around for photo shoots. It has a screw on the base to stablize the monopod to prevent slipping on surfaces and it has worked fine for me. The price was around 20.00 and reasonable. It comes with its own canvas bag and it slips into your luggage very easily. If you use a ipad for pictures, you can also purchase a frame for it that attaches to the top for a few dollars more and it is handy when you don't want to use the camera.

Absolutely. It moves 360 degrees and would fit easily on a tripod leg. Great idea.

Hi Sidney,You don't get fear about that this tripod is very flexibly usually you can getting adjust approximately between 3-5 feet and arrange any direction with this height. Thank you

Nope. There is a response that says this is a flimsy tripod and it is not for a travel tripod. I am a pro and use it as a travel tripod. I use a D800 and a Arca tech ball head and will handle everything to a 70-200vr f2.8. I don't extend everything out with that and weight it down. It it not as good as my huge $800 tripod, but that is to be expected.

I don't recommend this tripod. It is very flimsy. One of the legs bent after about 2 uses. I set it up, took a picture on time delay, and when I returned to the tripod the leg was bent.I replaced it with a similar Vivitar tripod and have had no problems with it.
