Can someone enlighten me on what size bag I might need for this mount and tripod? Do the legs on the tripod collapse?

The tripod legs do not collapse but you can detach them for easier transport. As far as bag size I think duffel bag. Unit is not really designed for portability. You may want to consider the Panogear which is lighter and more portable.

Collapsed, the legs are 28" long (48" extended). If you intend to leave the mount attached, add another 12" (The mount is 11"D x 6"W x 12"T). I remove the mount from the tripod for transport. There are 3 screws with plastic knobs that allow for easy removal. Re-installing is fairly easy, once you line up the screws (which are captured in the tripod, so they don't fall out).

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.

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,

I don't think it will. There is some extra room with the tripod in it but don't think there would be enough.

The tripod with pistol grip head attached appears to be just over 9 pounds. That doesn't include the carrying case...which I never use anyway. The tripod WITH head attached will fit in the bag...VERY tightly.

Tripod is fine. Monopod you're risking shaky footage. Image is incomparable, but I use the 24-105 IS if I have to do handheld or monopod work.

Honestly not sure. But I can barely get 2 lenses in the bag. And the tripods appears so rickety looking rhat I'm afraid to try using it. Maybe for my cockatoo to perch upon. Lol

I have this bag, and use it with a Manfroto 190XPROB and MAnfrotto 496RC2 ball head. The bag is plenty of room so, with this tripod, for sure you will have more space for at least 2 monopods. Anyway, you should check the dimensions of your own tripod, to be sure, but, if I have to say, I will say YES.

It will NOT support the weight though, I already tried it with that camera and the plastic leg locks broke. Don't risk your camera on this cheap tripod.

Height range of the mount head and tripod is 42" to 55". I'm not sure about the max height of the tripod alone, the legs can be extended about one foot from the most compact configuration.

this is just the Tripod LEGS. it's pretty confusing. I made that mistake. if you want the whole set up, legs, head, ball and bag go here. http://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-MVK502AM-Video-Telescoping-Carry/dp/B006LWHLSA/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1357845109&sr=8-4&keywords=manfrotto+tripod+502

I don't think it will and give your tripod the protection it needs. The bag is 26 inches in length. It may allow you to push an extra inch out of the end but I'm not too sure. Hope that helps you out. I do love the bag.

I have only used a full size tripod with this scope. I have not used the included tripod. The scope secured fine to my full size tripod. Sorry I could not be of more help on this one.

The tripod is very light weight and easy to carry. The legs are in four parts instead of the more common three parts. I would recommend it for point and shoot cameras and camcorders. If you have a camera with a gynormis lens the slightest breeze may topple it. If your camera was made for US import it probably has the standard SAE 1/4" 20 mounting thread and will fit the tripod.

Hello. The tripod is 28" fully retracted and folded. If that's an issue. If not. But it. It is awesome in every way. Light weight. Well constructed. I use it with d slr canon as well as a Nikon binaculars. Works perfect.

When collapsed, the tripod is about 2ft. in height. The tripod serves its purpose for only a short moment though. If you're serious about photography & or videography, began looking for another tripod right away. The camera is a nice sized one, so it tends to wobble & lean after a short period of time, but the tripod does serve its purpose for that short period of time.

No - I have looped the camera bag strap around the centr column to add weight. It's surprisingly stable - it is not meant to be a rock solid all purpose tripod. It's for travel - I took it all around Germany/Austria etc. and it did very well - it even kept my 6D w/28-300 L series relatively calm for long night exposures. That being said - it is not rock solid and does better when the legs are not fully extended. Highly recommend for travel - but if you're looking for stability - you're going to have pay much more for some carbon if you're looking to keep weight down and stability at the maximum. Hope this helps...
