Thanks for the additional comments, David! As most of my locomotion these days is done with a cane or walker, I can be pretty sure I won't be jogging with it any time soon, but it's good to know nevertheless the extent of the padding in the backpack.

Being somewhat spoiled on the 125's ability to auto-level itself, how difficult is it to adjust or "shim" the tripod if you're on somewhat uneven ground so that you can get a level reading?
