Questions & Answers

JON C : Some of the reviews of this bag say its not padded, the description say it is padded. Which is correct?Wesley C : Yes it IS padded. Like the other guy answered, "it's not thick but is great for carrying around a tripod. I bought my tripod bag in Nov. 2016. It has been good but the carring handels are coming loose from the bag where it is sewn. The handles could have been sewn a little better to the bag in my opinion.Jeff K : It IS a padded bag. I wouldn't say it's "thick" padding, but for hauling around tripods, its more than sufficiently padded.PETER V : Hello Jon C. I have this tripod cover in use already some time. It is really good en padded.
Shopper : will this fit a tripod with a geared head attached?SARUT P : My tripod with a Manfrotto 496RC2 ball head can fit in it with plenty of room to spare.
Shopper : how may light stand can you put and tripod?Marvin R : I use it for a single tripod. I don't see how more than one would fit.ANDREW S : It only has room for 1 tripod, its not for multiple light stands or tripods.

Dimensions didn't reveal true size

The dimensions didn't quite reveal it's shape, which turned out to be too small for my usage. I can use it for other things, but I ended up searching for another case.

Just what I needed

This was a nicer bag than I thought it would be. It is what was needed at a price that was better than I expected. And of course, Adorama had it on the way in no time flat.

Roomy

I keep my mono pod, tri-pod, and my backpack tri-pod all in this case. It's protecting them all and keeping them organized.

Best bang-for-buck tripod case

This is definitely the best bang-for-buck tripod bag I've had. I am using it on my Manfrotto MT190 Aluminum 3-Section + Manfrotto MHXPRO-3W X Pro 3-Way Head and they fit easily, with a few inches to spare. Well thought out bag, this. My only minor gripe is that it doesn't have that much padding, but for the price, you cant beat this for quality and utility.

Replacement for tripod bag that easily ripped

A Brand named tripod bag quick demise forced me to find a replacement that is bigger in capacity to accomodate the new Manfrotto 502 video head. Bag's strap isn't as strongly built as the previous bag.

Wrong size bag

I bought a Gitzo 3 series tripod kit and ordered a 4 series bag because I thought the 3 series bag was too small to accomodate the 30" long tripod. Turned out the bag is way too big. I returned it and ordered this one instead and also ordered a 3 series bag at the same time. turned out the gitzo bag fit exactly and this bag is too long. because the Gitzo tripod is not 30" long it is 27-28" long because the tripod head can go sideway. What a mess I created. Since this only cost so little , not worth while to return it. just keep it for other use.

Pretty Good

I was looking for an inexpensive bag to store my mono-pod or for the car trunk.This does the trick. Yes, it is not padded and a bit thin, but it is quite functional and well worth the price. It is larger than the picture indicates, but not too. It comes with a shoulder-strap. It is fine for my limited use. I don't ford streams, climb mountains or anything like that, and I have a stronger bag which my tripod is in.

This tripod case seems robust

This tripod case seems robust (haven't had it out too much yet). It's large enough for my big Manfrotto tripod with the head left on. The cushioning could be better, but the straps seem strong and durable.

Very Nice

Have had this for some months and it has held up nicely in near daily use in the outdoors. Seams are intact and I have no complains. There is also a zipper pocket on the bag for small items.

Excellent - Great Bargain

This tripod case is really a great bargain. I am using it for a tripod and ball head that measures 27" folded and is about 6" at it widest point. Having a full length zipper makes it easy to get the tripod in and out quickly and easily. There is a zippered pocket on the outside and another inside. Both are big enough to easily hold a map. The bag is lightly padded which is exactly what I was looking for. It comes with a shoulder strap. Highly recommend.

Don't be fooled by item photo

Item came with 2 tripods. Item is not what is pictured. Bag is lightly padded, will only provide minimum protection,no shoulder strap.

Great bag with extra zipper pockets

I use this to protect my video tripod. Convenient strap for carrying over the shoulder. And zipper pockets are good for putting accessories. Just the right size for my tripod. I feel it is well protected when banging around in the trunk of the car. Quality was surprisingly good. Very reasonable price.

Great deal, but no padding

The case is a great deal, but it provides virtually no protection. There is no padding on the case at all so if you were to drop it, your tripod could still be damaged. The case is basically like a duffle bag in the shape of a tripod. If I were you, I would save your money and purchase a case that actually has padding and would actually protect your tripod if you were to drop it.

Seems good

I bought this to hold two Adorama lightstands that are about this size. They both fit in well, and the bag seems good. I haven't used it at a job yet, but it looks like a good choice.

It's ok

Neither end of the bag is larger than the other to accommodate the tripod head.

So so

This is nowhere near as nice as the Hakuba tripod case I already own, but then they threw this case in as a bonus, so I was not arguing. I would not suggest actually spending real cash on it. It would be fine for an inexpensive tripod and not the Gitzo or even Manfrottos and maybe using it to carry monopods.

It is light weight yet sturdy. The equipment fits in it comfortably with a bit of extra space for a few extras. Just what I wanted.

Nice Bag

Took it to the Zoo. Great to have the tripod when using the 300 mm lens on far shots to steady the heavy lens. Couldn't carry the tripod without the bag.

Exactly the right size

Measure your tripod with the head on it. Then decide on a tripod case. This one fits my Manfrotto and its head perfectly.

Excellent!

I originally bought this to store a smaller Hakuba tripod. I found that, although too big for the Hakuba, it was a perfect fit for a Meade telescope that I have. I actually bought a second for the Meade scope/tripod. Although a beginner in photography/astrophotography/astronomy, I still like to store my gear proper. This item fits right into that. Thank-you!

Good Value!

I use this to protect my carbon fiber Gitzo tripod while it is banging around in my truck. It doesn't scream "Take Me" for prying eyes. It is just a plain black thing amongst the rest of all my 'truck stuff". It holds my GT 2531 with ball head and has room to spare so I also put my carbon fiber monopod, in its own case, inside this. One less thing to carry around! Others have complained of poor sewing or cheap zippers but my copy is perfectly useful. My only complaint is it could use more padding. For the price, it is terrific .

I still like the cheaper Adorama product better. So be it. See the photo.

By BRAILSFORD N.

When I bought this Adorama 30" deluxe padded tripod case at the same time I also bought the Domke F-432 30" Tripod Case. I wound up putting my expensive tripod in the Adorama case even though it was supposedly smaller. It seems like the 32" Domke is smaller than the 30" Flashpoint. The Flashpoint is cheaper too and it WAS padded. Sorry to pan Domke. They never said it was padded. But all it was was a piece of material with a zipper in it. Good material though. Just not what I was expecting. I...

Excellent Case

By Bruce L.

I have a Bogen Manfrotto 190CX Pro3 and originally thought I would order a Manfrotto bag for it. After reading several lukewarm reviews, I decided to give this one a try. Good decision. For the same price as the unpadded Bogen, I got a padded bag with both shoulder and hand straps. Good value
