This is larger than I realized when I ordered the 100 inch screen, and when I saw it after the FedEx delivery, I panicked a little thinking how difficult it would be to set up. BUT, the tripod base is connected to the vertical extension rod, as well as the container holding the rolled up screen. I simply put the tripod on the ground, turned the screen container horizontally, pulled out a small length of screen, hooked the wire to the top of the extension rod and pushed up the extension rod to the height I needed and turned a handle to lock it in place. Just as easy to take it down. I bought a 100 inch canvas carrying bag separately to carry it in and it works perfectly. I have a 2020 Chevy Traverse and it fits from the back of my center console, through the opening in my second row captain chairs and with the 3rd row seats down, goes right to my tailgate. Fits fine in this vehicle but good luck in anything smaller.
