It's 18.5 inches folded weighs just 2 lbs making it easy to carry around.

Cons
Con Meant for lightweight gear only
The tripods maximum load is measured at 4.5 lbs. That will allow you to use most DSLR bodies plus a kit lens, but adding on a heavier lens or anything extra will soon get you over the limit.
Con Slightly unstable when fully extended
When fully extended almost any gust of wind will impact the tripod.
Con No pan
Con Center column's wear off easily
The bottom of the extension column is threaded to allow you to screw in an extension column. Unfortunately, the threads can wear off after as little as 5-6 uses.
