I'm in the market for a new tripod and ive been eying the Velbon DV7000, except its got a folded height of 27.56" and Im worried it wont fit in any backpack I want to ski with.

Any advice?

 If it isn't too big, can you point me in the direction of a good backpack for holding a tripod?

thanks

Ya it will be a pain in the ass to find a bag to fit a tripod in. Most camera bags have straps on the side or the front to hold a tripod/lightstands. If you are looking for a camera bag look at F-Stop bags.

Just send it outside, you'd have to have a tiny tripod or a huge back pack for that shit to work.

the only real annoyance i have had is that sometimes the head comes unscreweed when panning one one. other than that its fine. hv30 should be fine too
