Questions & Answers

SUE B : will the Manfrotto X-Pro 3 way head on the Manfrotto 055 tripod fit in this bag?DOMINICK I : Don't know. You'll have to add up the tripod length and head length to make a determination. That assumes you leave the two attached.RALPH T : Don't know, but the Manfrotto 804RC2 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head does.COLLEEN E : I don't know the length of your tripod/head combination, but the bag has about 31 inch length capacity. I can put two tripods in there, with heads. My larger Gitzo and a lightweight Induro.JIM H : These are very well made roomy cases. If your physical measurements fit their specs, you will be fine. My Gitzo tripod and RRS 55 ball head fit perfectly with room for a smaller tripod and monopod. Highly recommend this product.
Anne R : Is this sturdy enough to survive airport baggage handlers?BILL G : The bag isn't that well padded. Assuming you are putting pricey pieces of equipment in the bag, I wouldn't chance it by checking it in.LARRY B : Although I have not had the opportunity to carry through the airport. I would not have any problem doing it and believe it is sturdy enough.PETER L : I have not checked it on a plane, but I believe it is as good as a padded sturdy fabric case can be. I would be more concerned about a stack of suitcases being placed on top, which would be hard to control, and only a hard case would give total protection.PATRICIA A : It has some padding but I would probably not trust it to go through checked luggage.Joshua M : No. It's a soft case. Unless you have a ballistic tripod and ballhead ;-) I use this for general transport in my car, but always remove the head from the tripod to fit into my check bag, often leaving this case behind on trips. But, it could be packed and taken with you if you chose.TERRY R : The zippers are heavy duty and there's enough padding for reasonable protection. I've been very pleased with mine, but have not flown with it. I would probably never 'check' any of my photo equipment, though I know it's necessary at times. I use a manfrotto tripod with ball head and this bag has lots of extra room in it. For extra protection against those rough handlers, I'd recommend wrapping your tripod in some bubble wrap before flying, especially to protect the head. This is a good quality bag for the money.LINDSEY P : I would say it is pretty well padded, but probably not enough for airport baggage handlers. I'm actually leaving for a trip tomorrow and am taking my Hakuba case as a carry on. The legs on my tripod are starting to stick, but I had a different case before and I'm pretty hard on my equipment and toss it around a lot. Anyway, I would say best bet is to get a hard case if you're checking it.FRANKY H : I haven't used it for transport via air yet, but it's not a hard case. It has light padding in it, so if this is going to go through airport bag handlers, you'll probably want to pad it yourself inside or go with something more sturdy.ROBERT M : Yes...it is heavy duty MATT S : I would say so, yes. Built very well for the price range.
Shopper : Is this new ? It's a gift..refund policy?DOUG R : Bought this case about four months ago for a trip to the Black Hills and The Badlands up in South Dakota. Case is used to contain a Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod mated with a Manfrotto 498RC2 ball head. This is my first serious tripod, ball head, and case and I'm very satisfied with the setup. The case is very well made and well padded with the added bonus of having a large zippered exterior storage pocket and a smaller velcro storage pocket on the inside. Plus it contains the tripod and ball head perfectly. You could probably fit a smaller tripod in with the other gear as well or just use it as general storage. I did take the case on several short day hikes (1-3 miles) while carrying a 40 pound pack along with a Think Tank camera case around my waist. I simply shortened up the strap on the tripod case and looped it through the compression straps on the pack and cinched it down tight where it road in a vertical position. Setup worked very well and I don't even know it was there. Bottom line is I would definitely recommend this case or any similar cases from Hakuba. I carry it almost all the time with it sometimes getting tossed in to the bed of my pickup. Protects the equipment quite well and the bag is showing no signs of wear and tear other than a little dirt and grime. Which is O.K. since I do most of my shooting outdoors anyway and things will naturally just get dirty. Buy it. You won't regret it. I definitely plan on purchasing Hakuba again in the future. Hopes this helps.MARTIN R : The question you asked went to a purchaser, not Adorama. They have this process to ask questions of people who bought the product. The questions you asked need to be asked of Adorama.PETER L : I don't know the product history, but I see reviews dating back to 2008, so it is probably unchanged since then. Adorama's refund policy should be elsewhere on their website. For a photographer who needs to carry his/her tripod in a padded case, this is a nice gift, in my opinion. As noted by others, it is big enough to carry multiple items. In my case, it was one of the few cases that is long enough to carry an extra-tall tripod with a large ballhead attached, so it is perfect for me.CARLOS D : Excellent . What I was looking for .Thanks

Love it, Tough tough and tough

Other than my Pelican case, this is the next toughest gear case I own, went with it after seeing my local rental company use it, figured if it's good enough for a rental torture, it's good enough for me. Zippers are strong, bag material is thick and durable

Great tripod bag

Bag is very well padded. I love the pockets on the outside, perfect for pocket wizards and small cables. There is also buckles in the inside of the bag to keep your tripods in place.

Nice Case

I bought this case to transport a 130mm f/7 refractor telescope. The case is a perfect fit and seems to be well made. It certainly holds the 20 lb. telescope with ease.

Terrific bag for flash setup

I already have a nice bag for my strobes and this bag is packed for flash stands and flashes. Very convenient to just be able to grab one bag and go.

great bag for the price

This is a really nice bag for ($). I've only taken it out on one gig but it feels sturdy, holds a lot of stuff, good padding. I like the extra pocket on the front that you can store some small brackets or whatever in and the shoulder strap makes it easy to carry.

Perfect fit for the Epson Duet Ultra Portable Projector Screen

This was actually recommended by a user who also needed a carrying case for the Epson Duet Ultra Portable Projector Screen and it's a PERFECT fit! Nice padding and straps and also feels very durable.

Fits large video tripods

Fits my Manfrotto 503HDV fluid head on 351MVB tripod legs with a little room to spare! Much cheaper than the Manfrotto case.

Solid as a Rock

This is a tough bag. Carrying a heavy wooden Berlebach slung over my shoulder got to be too much for me, so I bought on spec this case. It suits me perfectly. Years have passed, yet it has resisted all damage.

This case holds a bunch of stands and gear. It is really well made. Most importantly, it's long enough to fit my Manfrotto stands.

Feels solid!!

Just received the product today as my old bags bit the dust. This thing feels solid! great material, handles feel sturdy, and I really like the hard plastic on the bottom. I just packed it with: C stand column and boom arm. 4 manfrotto stacker stands, 3x4 softbox, 7ft parabolic umbrella, and 28" Westcott apollo. I'll definitely be getting the smaller version soon as well!! :D

Great bag for tripods

This bag works perfect for my gitzo 3 series tripod with the RRS BH40 ball head still attached (just barely). It is well padded and seems like it will hold up well.

Best lightstand/tripod bag

Spacious and of a very high quality, I was able to declutter my trunk of several bags housing 3 lightstands and tripod. The materials are solid and there are no issues with the heavy duty seams and zippers. The padding is light but enough to prevent any dings and scratches from accidental bumps into things. The only thing lacking is the strap system they have in the bag. There are tension lock straps on the bottom of the bag to help keep things from shifting around while being carried upright. The idea is great but the execution is a bit lacking. When loading gear into the bag, you have to pass them each through the preset loops and then tighten in the cramped space once your gear is in. They would benefit greatly with velcro straps in not only how quickly you'd be able to access and pack away your gear, but in how tightly and easily you'd be able to secure everything inside. Inconvenience aside, this bag is highly recommended.

De-Cluttered My Car

I'm sure like most starting photographers, I've got light stands, tripods, accessories ... you name it, not only do I have it, but it has been sitting loose in the back of my car for quite some time. In between photo shoots, I would just leave it there, because it would take three or four trips to haul it back into my house. And when I had a job, it would take three or four more trips to load up the car. I bought two of these Hakuba bags and everything just fit into both. Now I can take one trip from the car to the client and one trip from the car to the house. Easy peazey. The quality of the fabric is very heavy duty and while I don't plan to fly with these bags, for local trips to a client's location, these fit the bill perfectly.

This fits my full size carbon fiber tripod with a leveling head and a ball head attached with room to spare. It seems to be sturdy but I haven't taken a trip with it yet.

AWESOME PURCHASE!!!I

I needed this bag to transport my lightstands 45" long from the U.S. to India. They are great for travel because they are padded and offer extra protection. I was able to check the bag in along with my other luggage and the airline accepted it without making a fuss. What's great is that it holds a LOT OF STUFF, is lightweight and exactly what I was looking for. A great buy.

Great value.

This is a great bag. I'd never heard of Hakuba, but it seemed to get good reviews online, and now I can see why. You can't beat it for the price. Best bag for a strobist kit. I carry 2 Manfrotto 1051 stands and 2 Paul C Buff PLMs. The bag is padded. The shoulder strap is very nice to use. I've gone through a couple other bags like this (Manfrotto and Tenba, both of which I plan to sell), but this one is much better. Great value!!

Large enough for a second tripod

This bag is large enough to carry two tripods or in my case a tripod and a monopod. The pocket is great for small attachments or accessories.

Well done.

Very well made bag for the price. Not a lot of extra room but fits my Gitzo 3 series tripod with Arca ball head. Extra storage on the outside does come in handy too. Haven't tested the bag in the field yet.

pretty good, you get what you pay for

Nice roomy bag with decent padding. It can hold a lot of stands, reflectors, softboxes, umbrellas, etc. However, I would say that overpacking it is a bad idea. One of mine developed a rip in the fabric after about a year of heavy use. The zipper is holding up fine. But, I don't think this is very good performance. However, I do really like the bag overall. It would likely be covered under warranty but it looks like it's an easy repair and I'm not going to bother with warranty. I also use some Lightware bags that are often very overpacked and they have never ripped after a lot of use. The Hakuba needs more care so you have to balance the cost savings with the limited usability.

Great Bass Clarinet Stand case

Sax, bassoon and bass clarinet stands are as klutsy as tripods to carry around and, like photographers, musicians have to carry a lot of gear. I have searched for a sturdy instrument stand case. The adverized Hakuba 100 measurements looked just right for my Hercules bass clarinet stand and on delivery the case was a very good fit. One can also include a folded music stand and the side pocket easily accomodates added clarinet and flute pegs or other accessories. It looks very well made from sturdy materials. Since the bag comes in four sizes, I have recommended it to other musicians.

Great bag

By CHRISTOPHER V.

I wanted a high quality, padded bag to carry my essential light stands and related gear. This bag serves that purpose well. I have used it to store 4 light stands, clamps, cords and related equipment (med bag). It is secure and well made. I highly recommend

Better than expected

By gracie

This is a perfect travel bag for tripods. Unzips across the length for easy tripod access. Has a convenient outside pocket. Great strap so that you can carry over your shoulder. The padding protects. Probably wouldn't trust it to airline cargo guys, but it is enough for every day travel and use. Good quality - better than I expected!

The Tripod Cases and light Stand Case feature a 600 denier polyester material outer-shell and nylon lining, offering top quality craftsmanship and innovative designs. These cases yield maximum protection against extreme temperatures and impact via its high density, closed cell moisture resistant foam padding.
