Just taken receipt of this, ordered from WEX in the evening and received just after lunch the next day. 
Even though I had studied the specs at length and knew exactly what I had ordered, I was still surprised to receive a box no longer than my keyboard.
At just 35cm long when folded this really fits in with my recent downsizing and move to a more manageable mirrorless setup.
It comes with an Arca-swiss panoramic ballhead which has a nice smooth motion so it, not rough and gritty like some similarly priced equivalents I tried out in the store.
Extended it is almost as tall as a regular full size tripod, in fact in this image the centre column is not extended so there is a little more height to be had. The legs get a little spindly to allow for the compact size so I don't expect it to be the most stable thing in the world, but it certainly doesn't seem bad. A remote release and the fact that I am unlikely to be going up and mountains and I am sure it will suffice.
My X-T3 looks right at home and combined with the PD capture plate there will be no faffing with attaching QR plates when going from hand held walkabout stuff to any time a tripod is required. And yes, I have ordered some lens cleaner!
I am very much looking forward to using it in anger, but from my initial observations it seems to be rather well made, especially considering the price.
