Nice to have some cushion on the tripod legs. Sure helps when I have it on my shoulder for the hike to a photo spot. Also makes the tripod much more comfortable to handle in cold weather.

Used these on my gitzo for a few months but ended up taking them off because they were too bulky. Overall a decent product in terms of making the tripod more comfortable to shoulder. Just made the tripod legs too big for my shoulder so it wasn't stable for me.

A bit too bulky, it'll be much better if they are thinner. Good to use in case one needs to hang a tripod attached to a bag, it's ultra protection. I saw several threads loosen in the cover. And the included tape is far from enough to fix all 3 wraps... Anyway, it worths the money ...

Good for handling the tripod in cold weather (which is what I bought it for)

The best tripod is one you take with you. Buying carbon fiber went a long way to increase my usage (and resulting image quality), but... over-the-shoulder comfort wasn't there for long hikes. Tried foam bike tape, but not enough cushion. These covers are substantially thicker and more comfortable. Basically foam pipe insulation with a stretch cover. The only downsides are: -- too long (fabric over-covers can't be trimmed) -- added bulk makes fit in my pod's travel case very very tight.

For those photographers or outdoor enthusiasts seeking comfort in an alternative carrying system, OP/TECH USA offers the TRIPOD LEG WRAPS. Each leg is individually wrapped to protect the legs against damage and to give you added comfort against shoulder fatigue. It also keeps the cold metal legs "under wraps" and away from your skin. First, apply the closed-cell foam pads to the legs. These are held firmly in place with a strip of low-tack tape which secures the wraps without leaving a sticky residue. Second, the durable Cordura leggings are stretched snugly over the foam pads to form a seamless, comfortable fit. The TRIPOD LEG WRAPS are available in 1", 1¼" and 1½" diameter leg sizes. The 17" length can be customized to fit the user's tripod by merely cutting the foam pads with a serrated knife (Do not cut the Cordura leggings). Finally, you can toss your tripod over your shoulder in comfort!
