0741 lists as 39-147cm, 2741 as 40-143cm....and the margin is small,
especially if the PhotoTrekker itself is jammed full, and the outer
bag's 'back' isn't laying perfectly flat (like putting a fleece
jacket inbetween, or a plastic bag with films (also a good way to
piss off flight-attendants at the check-in desk with charter-flights
and strict carry-on limits....:))))
I browsed nearly every other tripod-brand catalog over the years, but
shorter than this one is *very* hard to find (even 5-section monopods
are quite rare actually).
