I wanted something to hold my Manfrotto tripod when stored away and protect it when I am traveling. I didn't expect the quality of this unit to be as well as it is. For the price, even for twice the price its a great unit.
Durable thick canvas on the outside, soft padded nylon on the inside. Large zippered outside hard pocket good for small to medium flash and diffusers. Soft Velcro pocket on the inside. bag itself has a a ridged caps and one end more of a cup, to protect head. Its fits my Manfrotto 190XB with 486RC2 head perfectly.

I was skeptical on purchasing this tripod bag for my 15 year old SILK U212 tripod. With the higher price tag than some of the other competitors I was worried I would be spending more money than I needed to. I was wrong.

The case is just the right fit for the tripod (head attached) and keeps it protected while in the floor board or back seat of my truck.

I'm a rail fan and have been known to do a bit of trekking to get an angle I haven't shot before and used to place the tripod on my shoulder while on the move. This case keeps everything safe and gives me back my other arm to keep balance on uneven terrain.

The only things that keep me from 5 stars is the lesser quality fatigue point on the strap and the lack of more soft cushioning inside the case(s)but that's just a personal preference.

For anyone wanting a case that makes it easy to tote your tripod, this is the one.

A tripod bag is not a complicated item and I can not understand the $75 and more price tags on some. This bag is well made, uses good materials, and it holds and protects my tripod just fine. The padding is just right- not too bulky, not cheap and thin. Zipper is good quality. Size is right for my Gitzo 2540 with head attached. The pod fits with a little room for some other small gear. In short, it is a well made bag that does what it needs to do at a good price. What more can you ask from something as simple as a tripod bag?

We have owned and used this bag for 6 months. It has been on vacation with us in Maine, Vermont and NH. It went into the woods with us photographing wildlife, and the Fall foliage without and signs of wear. Great bag for the money. Top notch quality. Buy one today.

This well-padded tripod bag with an outside zippered pocket and an inside velcro pocket is high quality and priced low. I can put my Manfrotto 190XV tripod with Bogen/Manfrotto 3126 head attached plus a Pentax 65mm angled spotting scope in its own case with one astronomical eyepiece in place, and even a small field guide all inside with no problem - and then fit 3 fairly large astronomical eyepieces and a homemade eyepiece holder in the outside pocket with room to spare for microfiber optics cleaning cloths and other small items.

I am very happy with the utility and quality of this tripod bag and I'd buy it again!
