Questions & Answers

Shopper : I'm trying to decide what to get. Why did you pick this one?ROBERT M : For stargazing with my telescope, this worked great for me. While observing, I frequently switch eyepieces and the pocketed Butler keeps the eyepieces from knocking against one another as I would expect would occur with other designs. The price is great as well. BTW, I didn't need to lengthen the strapsMEGAN D : I am happy with this particular package, it came with the little tripod bag which i find helpful with little knick knacks that i need to keep close during shooting. This tripod has been a lifesaver. relatively lightweight, clean design.DENNIS P : this works fine, I shoot pro work as a hobby, without putting weight in this and using the self timer is worthless, the tripod with a canon 100-400is lens on self timer does fine but don't waste time without using the butler with heavy weight. Slow shutter speeds will be deletes by my standards!BRYCE F : At only $11 each, I bought both this "butler" and this item: Flashpoint Tripod Weight Bag: <a href="http://www.adorama.com/FPTBS.html." target="_blank">http://www.adorama.com/FPTBS.html.</a> I prefer the weight bag: it only has a single compartment but it has a sturdier build. Note that with either one, you may want to add some length to the straps using your own Velcro. It would be nice if Adorama would add about 6 inches to the straps in a new version of the product.PATRICK T : I wanted to weigh down and stabilize my TrekPod
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?ROBLEY J : Simple - Put rocks, etc. heavy material in bag to lower CG (Center-of-gravity) of camera & tripod.JODY G : needed someplace to put my remote, phone and gaffers tape while shooting.BOB Y : Handy place to put small items instead of in my pocket or on the ground.HENRY L : I got tired of sticking filters, lense caps, light meters, etc. in my pockets & then having to search around for them when I needed them again. Also, to facilitate switching lenses.JOHN G : I find this very useful with my 4x5 camera. I can throw a few things in it including holders while setting up and shooting.

I highly recommend this product

I highly recommend this product. It attaches easily to your tripod legs with Velcro, and has three compartments to hold all kinds of gear. No longer do I have pockets full of lens caps, shutter releases, cell phones or filter cases. I also like the fact that the Tripod Butler can remain attached when the tripod is not in use as it folds easily and, you just can't beat the price.

clumsy

This is very nice quality, but was awkward, as I move alot and had to keep unloading it. I went back to just adding to my bag.

Excellent!

I love this. I also own the Vanguard version. I like the compartments in the Flashpoint version better. Very rugged.

it's okay.

used it once. bought it as a test, don't like it, don't need it. But more to do with my shooting style. But build quality isn't great.

Very Handy Field Storage

My telescope tripod has no storage shelf and this Butler proves to be very handy for short term storage for my eyepieces as I switch from one to another while stargazing. The divider pockets keep the eyepieces from potentially knocking against one another unlike what I would expect other designs that have no dividers. In addition, the Butler folds flat enough inside the collapsed tripod so that I don't have to take it off the tripod legs when tearing down and storing my kit. This is a great value for the price.

Great product

I bought one for my husband and now I can't wait to get one. When I am out taking pictures, often times I am wearing shorts with NO pockets and I have no place to put my lens caps, filters etc. So this is perfect!!!

It is what it is

Easy to "install" and stays out of the way when you fold your tripod (just leave it on). Velcro straps are plenty sturdy.

I love it. Very useful and convienient

Not very often something for less than $10 can make me very happy, but this does. I use it for my Telescope tripod, It holds power supplies, cables, and other small items that don't fit easily into my eyepiece case. I leave it on all the time. Velcro is strong and is easy to install. Nicely made. I'll buy another for my Camera Tripod, (An added benefit: the weight, and tension help to stabilize the tripod)

I just got rid of my side table

Pretty cool storage bin for the little things we need in the studio and on a landscape photojourney. Folds in with the legs easily so no wasting space.

Simple but smart

Always had the backpack on the ground, but this allows the one or two items to be easier to grab at night. I would not use it as a weight.

Works Well

Used it last night to help stabilize the tripod when doing night sky shots with a long lens. It helped. For the price it is a very good deal.

Handier than a shirt pocket.

I like this product so well that I bought a second one for my flegling photographer granddaughter. It is simple to install and sturdy enough to trust with a telephoto lense.

Nice Product

This is a simple and well made product. I have tried it on a couple of different full size professional tripods and it fits well. I would not attempt to use it for heavy lenses. It is rated at 9 pounds and I would stay well under that limit. The built in dividers preclude holding large lenses anyway, but keep smaller items separated. This is a handy device to help avoid placing items on the ground and underfoot for location use and I recommend it.

I would buy another.

I use this in my home studio. I attach it and it's always there on the Tripod. It's worth the money.

Just what I needed!

This is exactly what I was looking for. I always had to put the lens cap in my pocket, hunt for my light meter or look for my small flashlight when I'm shooting night shots. Great when the ground is wet and no place to put my jacket or small accessory bag. I keep it in the same bag with my tripod. I even bought one for my photography friend.

The Flashpoint Tripod Butler is Always At Your Service

No need to explain the benefits of a Tripod Butler - after all what better way to keep those extra lenses, bodies, duct tape, cords and batteries within reach when you need them. So let's cut to the chase and discuss the virtues of the Flashpoint Tripod Butler. As you'd expect, it attaches instantly to your tripod's legs with handy Velcro fasteners. And, yes, it's constructed of virtually indestructible nylon. However, what makes our Flashpoint Tripod Butler unique is it''s cost, or actually the rather the lack thereof. Because anything even remotely comparable will cost you a whole lot more.
