Tripod bag?

[smb0004]

Just got myself a new tripod, would quite like a bag to carry it in..

Seems like a fairly uncomplicated piece of kit but thought I'd see what you guys use before I fork out any ££

Any recommendations? Cheers

My Redsnapper tripod came with a bag, so that is what I use.

One thing to bear in mind is the extra height of your tripod when the head is attached, the Redsnapper bag is a tight fit when I have a Manfrotto head on my tripod.

How about a shoulder strap like this http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Tripods/Giottos/Giottos-Adjustable-Shoulder-Strap-for-MT-Series-Tripods

Manfrotto make one and sure many other manufacturers do too, pretty generic and seem to fit each others tripods, also saves having another bag to lose

I do own a strap, but prefer a bit of pipe lagging on the legs and hold it with one hand over my shoulder

Manfrotto make tripod bags which are shaped to take a tripod and even the bulkiest of heads. Mine takes my 190xpro and 804rc2 comfortably and cost about £30.

Calumet stocks a decent range of tripod bags with sizes to suit.

I bought the Giottos AA1252 from Jessops, bargainous!

My Manfrottto 055 XProB/Giottos MH1301 fits perfectly and it has the advantage of having small handles on the body of the bag as well as a shoulder strap, oh and it's got enough padding to protect your tripod too.

I got a Samsonite tripod bag from 7dayshop for about £8 in one of their clearance promotions a few years ago. It's easy to carry and protects the tripod well (well enough to survive as checked luggage).
