Which slim tripod (below $100) would be suitable with this bag for a motorcycle enthusiast which travels on motorcycle a lot?

It depends on how long the tripod is when it's collapsed. I've got a Mefoto Globetrotter that collapses to 16" and it fits quite well, but I wouldn't go much bigger than that. I'm sure there are a lot of decent small tripods that will work.

You will have to get a tripod bag separate. Manfrotto makes a good case for this one. .(Manfrotto MB MBAG80PN Padded 80cm Tripod Bag) cost us about $78,

Spend over $100 on one. Too many to list but because of the 80 power zoom don't go cheep on the tripod

hi,i experimented with several tripods before settling on a manfrotto but what I remember about this specific tripod was that it was lightweight, would not be able to handle support a DSLR with long lens and when full extended approx. 4' making it more unstable. Good price and rig for a smaller camera but did not make me feel confident. Also the action on the head did not have near the fluidity i require. hope this helps.

Seems like "Arush" answered appropriately. The newer version, that I have, is a really nice tripod. However, if you aren't going to use it heavily you would probably be fine getting the cheaper model.

If you want a tripod. I suggest one that can handle a load of 80 lbs. mead sells some heavy duty ones. If your talking eq mounts. Same thing. I have been researching that myself. You need one that can swing that montster. If your planning on imaging with it don't bother. The focal length of 1200mm is too much for back focus. I recommend the 10" at 900mm. It's made for imaging. Unless you feel like cutting your tube down to 900. NOT RECOMMEND you doing that inked your like a guru in presision and KNOW WHAT your doing. Just get the 900 if your imaging.

i'm very excited about this camera. have a s100fs and this can only be better. i have trusted fuji for years and never been disappointed. anyone got an idea of a good camera bag for this model? have a lowepro toploader AW 65 that actually is a little bit big for the s100fs. the smaller the bag, the better...

It can handle my Nikon D3200 with a 55-200mm zoom with room to spare! A great tripod for my usage!

I got these a while back as well, and I absolutely love it. I started out using mine just for fun and to familiarize myself with photography, and now I do odd jobs for friends and get excellent results. The 32 GB SD Card is golden, I maxed mine the other day but I hadn't been clearing out old pics and I was shooting in RAW.I've never used the tripod... it's pretty cheap imo. The bag is ok, but in the end I have everything to enjoy and improve my skills comfortably.Also, definitely take the 300mm.

I have Induro BL3 which is a good, robust all around size that can also work for the 500mm (which I have). But I also have the Gimbal Head (Induro GHB 1) that's my favorite for the 500mm.

It shall be pretty good for the C5 spotting scope. Anything not too huge and heavy and anything for terrestrial use would be the perfect candidate for this tripod.

it can be used for temporary storage for quick trips to the store... bag comes with a ring at the bottom of the bag for you to secure it to the frame... that way its not flapping in the wind... still I would probably go with something meant for a motorcycle...good luck.

Thanks for asking.... I'd have a sturdier tripod for any/all telephoto lens. Just not good enough. The extra weight makesthe tripod "slide" downward.

This tripod may work fine with a pocket camera, but with a DSLR camera or something close I would recommend something sturdier due to the camera's size and weight.

Hello Andrew, Can you tell me what the width of the Benro head is? I'm able to fit two tripods in this particular tripod bag, which is pretty roomy.

Which one? The large is out of stock, the medium has no place for a tripod. This comes with a fairly nice strapped bag itself, and will attach to any bag with a couple of nylon straps available with about a 10-14" spread. In my experience, using a lot of different bags and tripods, there really is NO tripod and bag that work better strapped together than they do apart. Even at 3 lbs, on the back or front it causes imbalance (and pain), on top it blocks handles and openings (AND makes the bag tip over), and on the sides or bottom it keeps you from being able to stand the bag up when not carrying it. Both items work much better alone than either one will together IMHO YMMV but I've tried a lot of combinations to arrive at that conclusion.

I think is right for the price, meaning that is not the lightest tripod and you will get tired carrying it long distances. For long trips you will need a carbon fiber tripod knowing they cost way more. I recommend you find a store and feel the weight in your own hands and assuming you can't just get the same weight with other stuff in your backpack and see how it feels for you. I personally use it for short trips of no more than 2 - 3 hours. I also have to say I use a pretty heavy ball head so you have to take that into account. Anyway it is an awesome tripod
