I am planning to travel with this. What would be total weight and dimension of this in a packed box along with tripod and all accessories?

This is not a scope I would think that would travel well. First off it is a Jones-Bird Reflector design which means it is difficult and somewhat time consuming to collimate. Travel would just complicate that more. The box is fairly large as well - As far as weight 30.9 x 16.9 x 8.5 inches ; 17 pounds assembled - 30 pounds packaged. You would be better off with a small refractor type scope for travel or a small maksutov-cassegrain around 90mm or so.

According to this review, 20 lbs. http://www.dpreview.com/articles/8941642276/travel-tripods-comparing-5-aluminum-kits/4 It's very sturdy but I have only used it with ~ 1 lbs.

It is a pretty light weight tripod. When I shoot with our Canon 5D Mark iii with a long 70-200mm heavy lens it has a hard time holding the lens. 30 lb prompter is going to be too much weight.

Does anyone knows the weight of it? I am also taking it on an international flight ?

I can't remember exactly how large it was but it would definitely take up a SMALL portion of your suitcase especially if you remove from box. And the weight wasn't very much. Again, ours has been blown up for so long I have no idea the actual amount.

I am unsure of the exact weight. Between using the stone bag and/or how you position the tripod legs, it should handle most anything 'reasonable' on the center column in a 90 degree position.

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 think it is definitely not something you would want to travel with. Each of the two pieces are 2.5 feet long. The 3 legs on the tripod fold, but they take up about 6 inches. The arms on the top piece take up about 4 inches when folded.

The package states that it weighs 2.8 pounds. It is very sturdy and I would purchase another one. The only issue that I have is that if your SLR style camera has a rubber cover for protection, then the removable base (for the tripod) is tight.

Maximum height is 52 inches and with the center column extended an additional of 10 inches a total of 62 inches. The weight of the tripod legs is 3.1/4 lbs. I added the Manfrotto 804RC2 head with a weight of 1.3/4 lbs. a total weight of less than 5 lbs. This explains why the shipping weight is only 4lbs. because you are only buying the tripod legs which is less than 4 lbs. If you are buying both the tripod legs and head then it is a different story. I love my tripod legs as it is so light.

I still have the box, 16"x16"x21". 53 pounds with all the accessories that I got. Hope that helps.

I ordered mine about 6 months ago and it had a couple of different accessories but the box size it came in was approximately 12" wide x 30" length x 8" deep. These sizes are approximate. I am unsure of the weight but it wasn't heavy.

Just guessing, I'd say it's 3-4 pounds, without any fluid head and camera attachments. It's very light, but rock solid.

Tripod in travel bag will fit into a 19-1/2" long space. Width while laying on two of the three legs is about 5". A few small items could fit along top side in spaces left each side of third leg.

I don't have the box it was shipped in. However, The tripod it's self is 31" tall, and 5" at the widest point...... This is the smallest it gets, with the head attached...... and without the handles. The handles screw in and out......and shipped with the handles loose. That's all I can tell you. It's a great tripod for the dollar. The head is a little stiff, but for the price you can not go wrong.

Hello! yes, it would fit with no problem. It comes with a Simple box and inside a bad to carry it on. It's a very simple tripod. It would fit with no problems.The rest of the equipments and pieces are just great for starters! Good luck! Peace!
