Comments about Tenba Tenba T488 48" Long Tri-Pak Sling Bag for Lightstands & Tripods, Black.:

PROS:Very well made...good strong stitching-good materials good zipper. Has survived 7 airplane trips so far.
CONS: no padding in bag...I took a 8" round heavy cardboard concrete form..lined it with pieces of a closed-cell sleeping bag pad (fyi-if you do this..you need two pieces 25" long)and I stuck heavy foam in top and bottom of the tube and stuck this inside the bag It's now very hard to damage my tripod. I wish Tenba would offer this as an option. As is,the bag offers very little protection. My other gripe is the shoulder strap...it's too short.
If Tenba had offered some kind of padded sleeve or hard insert for this bag,I'd have rated it excellent. It's a good bag..but it needs a little help to be a great one.
