 A word about sizes...Sep 13, 2006
By N. Rojas
"nefrojas"
Both products are 5 star winners on their own...
But BE AWARE that the tripod DOES NOT fit in the case. However, they are still a great buy for the money.

 Get What You Pay ForJun 29, 2007
By Sterno
UPDATE TO ORIGINAL REVIEW: If you purchase this set, keep the excellent bag and toss the tripod. The bag is great and has protected my camera marvelously for over a year of heavy field use. The tripod is a different story altogether. Worthless would be an apt description. It fell apart piece by piece until it was literally lying in pieces on my studio floor. You get what you pay for ... this illustrates the adage perfectly. I've since purchased a Manfrotto and it's night and day. As should be expected. So ... if you can purchase the Samsonite case separately, I'd recommend doing so ... and leaving this crappy tripod alone.
Original review:
The tripod: It's light. Works fine as long as you're on fairly level ground. If there's any wind make sure you've got your potato sack and some rocks handy. I've used it quite a bit and the leg extension locks are still tight. We'll see how long that lasts.
The case: It's small. If you've got a Canon EOS with a "kit" lens, you might be able to fit that and another lens in the case. If you've got a lens any larger then you won't. I have a Rebel XT with a Tamron 18-200 zoom/macro lens and I can't fit my 50mm f/1.8 in the case with it. For just carrying around one body and one lens, it's a fine case that protects the camera and lens very well. Plenty of (small) pockets will hold your lens and camera caps, a few memory cards, your charger and batteries and cables. With a lens hood in one side pocket and the camera's manual in the other, that about fills this thing up.
Overall, this is a decent package for the price. You'll probably want to move up pretty quickly though if you're any kind of serious about your photography.
 Spankin dealJun 26, 2009
By God Lover
I am blown away by the deal I got with these two items. Both are quality for a reasonble price. I am especially enamored with my camera case, and several of my friends have also purchased one like mine after seeing how positively cool this case is.
The tripod is good enough construction for someone who needs an occasional tripod, but probably not adequate for full time use. I am happy with it for my own needs.
