Is there a way to fold the two handles, so that the tripod fits easily into the carrying case? To make it fit, I have to unscrew one handle.

NO, you have to unscrew the one handle and screw it into the other, I think that's how it's shipped. a little inconvenient, but still a good product.

No way to do it without unscrewing the handle. However the handle you have to unscrew will screw into the hole on the other handle so you do not lose it.

The larger tripod does not fit in the camera bag, but the smaller table tripod would. Honestly though the larger tripod isn't large enough to use comfortably. I'm just glad we got this kit for the extra battery and the bag. We were able to fit the camera and the other accessories in the bag.

I just put in a review but it apparently got lost in cyber space....there isnt a way to attach it to a tripod that I can tell. The hinge on the bottom of the case also prevents you from just standing it on something without someone holding it or propping it up.

I've looked all over the place for the instructions. Please Kelsyus, post a video!I folded it, gave it a twist --it's too big to put into the bag. Do I fold it twice?

Try tying a nylon string through the straps's rectangular ring and attach it through the camera's shouler strap ring for extra insurance in case the tripod fastener loosens by accident.

there are two release hooks on each leg. One leg slides inside the other leg to make the whole thing shorter...so it fits in the bag. and be sure to 'fold' down the tilt/pan handle so the handle fits in the bag.

I was able to get it down to where I could put two screws in and the just taped the other end. Like William, I recently purchased a case and had to go back to the original legs so it would fit in the case. Not a problem now since I feel a little more comfortable with flying/landing and making sure the GoPro is facing forward and not down.

The handles fold down so you do not need to remove them. Or I think you can just unscrew it.

Handles are removable. Have had tripod for a year and no wear and tear on handles is apparent.I would guess replacement parts are available.Ron

Not explicitly. There's a little loop in front, barely wide enough to accommodate a monopod. there's also a side pocket, but unless your tripod is extremely portable, it's not deep enough to safely carry a tripod. It's a good bag though.

The slider piece that loosens and tightens the sling is what attaches to the tripod screw. I agree with Roger that it probably won't work right without that. I think that they make an attachment plate that allows you to use a tripod and the strap at the same time. That would probably be better than an extra one of these.I personally wouldn't feel comfortable with a heavy body/lens combination on two of these little straps. With a lighter camera I bet it would be fine.

Push down on the end of the carabiner, towards the handle. Tilt the carabiner forward and it will fold into the closed position. Hope this helps! Alan Briley, RN

It's funny that you ask - I bought the bundle which included this case, the exact same camera you are talking about, and a mini tripod. Using the 14-42 (which is the smaller of the two lenses), it doesn't fit in the case without a whole lot of squishing. I'm worried about scratching the camera, it's that tight of a fit. I don't know what camera they made this for, or perhaps only for use with a fixed-length lens. The cardboard insert that came with it says "for the E-PL series," but I don't know if those are smaller. I'm ready to ditch this "free" case and find something else. Hope this helps you out!

Need tools to detach it. But the 3 legs can be folded up so that it's slim enough for you to carry it in a tripod bag.

The handle cannot fold down but it can be removed and reattached fairly easily. The handle is attached to the basket via two prongs which inserts into the basket by compressing the metal part of the handle.

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. Happy Travels

hey, no, the tripod does not fit in the case, unfortunately. The case is big but only fits the telescope, which is also big.
