              This tripod is quite small when fully collapsed but gets pretty big. I have a larger Bogen and bought this for my office. I love it. It's small, sturdy and just works well... I'd steal it from my office but it's probably not worth getting fired so I'll probably pick one up for myself.

              I like the small size as I can throw it on my scooter and go.

                Very well built tripod. 3-way head is very smooth out of the box and I expect it to get better as it loosens up.

                            Comments about Manfrotto MK294A4-D3RC2 4-Section Aluminum Tripod With 3-Way Head:

                            Very well built tripod. 3-way head is very smooth out of the box and I expect it to get better as it loosens up.
