Product Description

Asymmetric tapered shape allows you to store the tripod with the head attached. Tripod legs fit comfortably in the narrower end (diameter 13cm - 5.1") and extra space is allowed for the larger volume of the head at the wider end (diameter 15cm - 5.9"). This also means it's easier to put the tripod and head in the bag, even if the head levers and knobs are fitted and jut out slightly.Zip extends down the length of the bag, but also fully opens the top end of the bag, making it easier to get your tripod in and out, as well as being able to extract the tripod quickly.Thermoform padding holds the tripod in place and protects it, especially the head, during transport. Serves a double purpose by protecting you from the tripod's hard edges when carrying it by your side.Innovative design and style; ballistic nylon, zips and other materials used are of top quality and designed in collaboration with Kata Carrying Systems.

Customer Reviews

Does the job but room for improvement.
I like this nice tripod bag! It holds my 055XPROB tripod and 488RC4 ballhead.

Pros:
Does the job, i.e. protects the tripod and head while traveling.
Nice/professional looking design.
Like the bottom handle.
Efficient padding and ballistic nylon.

Cons:
Would appreciate a side handle, an inner pocket and maybe more flexibility (velcros, straps, hook, etc.).
Would appreciate that the shoulder strap was padded.
A bit heavy.
Way too pricy--it doesn't make the pictures, it's just a bag!

Bottom line:
I recommend it but I hope designers to read this and improve its design!

Superb bag for the Gitzo 3531+ RRS BH-55 Ballhead
This is a superbly crafted bag. I wanted a padded bag for my Gitzo 3531 tripod with a Really Right Stuff BH-55 ballhead. The only ones I could find were too big or too small. I almost bought the Think Tank Big Bazooka- but when I checked it out at Calumet, it was just too big and too bulky (being telescopic, there is no sealing where the two halves meet). I saw this tripod case at Calumet and wasn't sure if my tripod/ head combo would fit in it. But the combo fits perfectly with around an inch of headroom- PERFECT. The bag is constructed incredibly well and is padded all over. The bag is tapered- narrow at the bottom and wide at the top to accommodate the head. The top flap is very sturdy and will ensure great protection for my ballhead. I found the design of the bag great in the sense that it is possible to keep just the top of the bag open (i.e. the flap) and the bag then looks like a quiver which gives easy access to the tripod inside. I have attached four photos of the bag with my tripod/ ballhead combo to give an idea of how this bag looks with the tripod inside.

Highly recommended!

Manfrotto MBAG80P tripod bag
I decided on the padded Manfrotto MBAG80P tripod bag because I wanted to protect my tripod investment. The bag is light weight with double zippers. One zipper goes the entire length of the bag. The bag is tapered so the tripod and head can be inserted easily without unzipping the whole bag if desired. It can be carried on the back easily and appears to be well constructed. The Manfrotto color logo and name are small and are located in the opposit side of the strap (bottom/top?), middle of the bag. The large end of the bag has one large Manfrotto logo molded into the padding but it's not obvious. All in all, a good bag and I'm pleased. It's not water proof! So, I purchased some water resistance sealant spray and spray it down to retard water entry.
