I unsecrewed one of the handles from the panhead (there are two) and squeezed the tripod into the bag. The unit is just too long. It almost wants to close, but it needs about another 1/2 inch of bag to close.
This was a gift, so I'll probably just keep it and try to make it work.
Disappointed to say the least. I had hoped to not have to unassemble the tripod for carrying... makes it more of a hassle for field trips.
Other than that, the case seems really nice and I would probably rate it at 5 stars. If your tripod is less than 10" in diameter at the feet, it should work well.
If anyone has a suggestion on what I'm doing wrong, I'd sure like to hear!

I got this bag for my Sunpak tripod and it does not fit. It's WAY too short. The description says it's for tripods less than 24" and the bag length is 24.2". My tripod is 23.5" and it's a really tight fit.The good:
Lightweight bag (since it's unpadded).
Handle looks comfortable but since my tripod didn't really fit, I didn't get to try it out in the field.
The bad:
Bad fit. The description is waaaaay off. The case would be better for tripods under 22", not under 24". You need some wiggle room to make it easier to get the tripod in and out of the bag.
Cheap construction. The bag I received didn't even have the threads cut off. It's that lack of attention to detail that makes you wonder what else they skimped on. :-/
This bag was cheap (I got what I paid for) and it wasn't even worth it to return it since I would have to pay for shipping and everything. I'll probably give it to a friend or something.
