The review is actually about the case, not the tripod. The tripod was affordable and compact, which was what I was looking for. I plan to use it for long exposure night shots while backpacking in Tokyo. It's strong enough (barely) to hold up my DSLR and 1:2.8, 75mm lens. The camera weights a little over 2 pounds, but it is a bit lens heavy. Tilt the camera down and it feels like the whole thing will tip over. The tripod height is okay for wide landscape shots, which is what I will be taking.The case is pretty much useless; the tripod barely fits the case. I have to adjust the tripod head in order for the case to zip up. If it wasn't for the fact the case was included in the B&H kit, I would not have even think about getting the case. The case was a nice bonus, but too bad it doesn't fit the tripod. I don't have high expectations from Sunpak, so I wasn't surprised of the case design. To me, Sunpak=disposable photo gear. I just needed a compact tripod to fit in my backpack for my trip; if it breaks, I'll toss it and place another order with B&H.

Comments about Sunpak Compact SXL Tripod with 2-Way Panhead - Supports 3 lbs (1.36kg):
The tripod came with a free carrying case, which was great, but the thing I really like about it, is the size. You can pretty much slip it into a back pack and tote it around very easily.
If you have a heavier tripod, I would say get this as a backup that you can basically carry with you anywhere. Or if you're like me, and only use a tripod occasionally, then this is a good, inexpensive, and easy to carry around choice.

Comments about Sunpak Compact SXL Tripod with 2-Way Panhead - Supports 3 lbs (1.36kg):
First off the head is removable. I replaced the head with a small Giottos ballhead and added a Manfrotto quick release. Made a wonderful light tripod for a Canon SX30IS, or any point and shoot camera.
Do NOT think you will be using the included bag, it's to small.
