5.6 inches, according to the B&H Web site (which is a bit easier to navigate than the Canon site).

Mine fits upright, in its original case, in both of my commonly used bags: a Domke F-7 and a Canon 200-DG.

Again thanks I currently own Canons 430ex-rt the first one. The controls are not as user friendly as the newer 430ex-rt iii and 600ex-rt. Plus a lower guide number 141 & fewer functions. Blair..

There are both the original and a Mark II version of the 600EX-RT, so make sure you're getting the one you want.
