This lightweight aluminum tripod is light and very stable. The height can be adjusted in three stages. Height when stored: Approximately 500mm Height adjustment: 3 stages (Approximately 480mm - 1300mm) Includes storage bag and instruction manual. I used it once at my child's sports day, but it has been stored in the closet since then. There are small scratches such as scuffs, but there are no problems with use.
