Is 61cm (24 inch) folded length too much for a tripod?

Question

Do you consider this length to be too much when plied(closed) for a tripod? The weight is 1.95kg (4.3 pounds). Do you consider this would be inconvenient to use in the city?

Answer

If they make it, it is probably convenient to someone.

You have to look at all the specs and decide which is good for you. Personally, I think this would be too big for travel as you would need a large suitcase just because you have such a big tripod. If you are not traveling with it, or doing so by car, it can do though.

Consider though that 61cm folded means at the very least 71cm length when you include a head. Add a leveling base or a fancier head and it gets really long.
