I had no problems setting it up without instructions BUT I cannot figure out how to fold it back enough so it fits in the carrying bag. Help?

there are two release hooks on each leg. One leg slides inside the other leg to make the whole thing shorter...so it fits in the bag. and be sure to 'fold' down the tilt/pan handle so the handle fits in the bag.

I had no instructions with mine-I don't even know how to attach the camera?? Sending this back for sure.

Release all the joints, follow the motion of each joint until u get it properly folded

just collasp the telescopic legs, release the locks on the camera mounts, and turn the handle down beside the body of the tripod.

Mine was delivered folded, with the cover on. To unfold and set up is super easy, and just involves locking a joint on the two longer top bars. We have folded it up and set it back up multiple times for travel with no problems.

The instructions should be tucked inside the included shopping bag. I had the same issue and had even contacted the company and planned to return to Amazon before I discovered it! Good luck!

We don't have any problem with it. Just roll the cord around your hand and stuff it back in its place. Then the bed folds up just like new, and we keep it in its bag. We also just deflate, push the cord in, fold lengthwise in thirds, then fold toward to pump end.

I just roll it up and use a sleeping bag to keep it rolled up. It takes up very little precious space, and isn't too heavy.

Gently twist it into a figure 8 while applying pressure from the bottom and the top. Have the bag ready to slide it in once it's flat and slide it into the bag at least half-way before it pops up again. I hope this is helpful. It's a challenge, then it's easy.

Hi Megan,I'm not sure how to fold it up. I'm scared to do it because I feel I may hurt myself. lol

Having the hardest time getting it back in the tube.... How do you fold it to get it back?

Try using WD40 and it should make it easier to un fold, its hard because of the shipping and if its cold its harder as well.

Just pull it open - it clicks into place. When you are done, just fold it back up. You might have to push a little extra the first time, but it will be fine after that.

Fold the top down from the front opening toward the back bottom (the sides with the velcro on the back corners are the top and bottom), then fold the bottom up so it is a flat square. Now, grasp parrallel sides (it doesn't matter which ones, just parallel) and push together in the middle in to a figure 8. Then fold it in half. Sometimes mine will kind of curl up into thirds when I fold it. You should be able to fit in the bag at this point. It takes a few times to get it, but not too tough. I had trouble at first too, so you aren't alone. Good luck.

Fold it in thirds lengthwise, then fold it in quarters. It fits perfectly in the bag it came in. It's pretty easy to travel with. I LOVE THIS BED!! Convenient, durable, comfortable. I have folded it & unfolded it & used it multiple times.

I have had no problems rolling it up. It might be challenging for someone with arthritis in their hands. Basically, you lay it out flat in the closed position, and then fold it in half in the long direction. You then roll it up tightly at this half-width, starting from the foot, keeping the bag folded and square as you go. At the top there is a built-in strap arrangement, using black cord, to hold the bag in its rolled-up position. It consists of a loop of cord on one side, fastened at each corner of the half-width of the bag, and a single cord with a plastic hook on it at the other side, centered on the half-width. The idea is to pull the middle of the loop around in one direction around the outside of the rolled-up bag, and then engage the hook in it from the other side. This creates a Y-shaped fastening that keeps the bag rolled up. It took me a few tries to figure out how this was supposed to work when I first got the bag, but it's not too hard to figure out. Pay attention to how it is rolled up when it arrives. The important thing is to roll the bag tightly and keep it square (even), rather than letting the bag edges slop out and roll up unevenly. keeping it tight makes it easier to fasten the cord. I know other people have complained about this arrangement in other reviews, but I don't have a problem with it. Alternatively a couple of short bungee cords would serve the same purpose of keeping the bag closed. I like the convenience of having the straps built in.

Watching the youtube video is the easiest way to understand how to set it up. Also, when you go to fold it up I had to turn it with the instructions facing down toward the ground to get it to fold up properly. Not sure why but that was the only way it would fold up.

Hi, be sure the hooks for either side of the seat to the legs are unhooked. Then you should be able to fold it. Hope this helps...

It took several attempts before we got it right. We took the top (after unzipping it) and folded it, then the floor. I can't tell you exactly how we folded it. Just keep trying. It was a struggle to get it in the bag/case without help. Don't give up. You can do it.

We had folded it up when not in use, it seemed to "crinkle" and not work properly the next time until we flattened it out by hand. Hope that helps.
