the last shot shows it in the back of a Subaru forester. the case with the wheels do not fit, i need to take them off to get it in
Dave I am not following? Did you unloosen the pier without the tripod leg attachments locked in?

Cheers

Ps would have been great if you didn't need Allen keys to use it ...
