Photo Forum / Film Photography / Medium format / May 2007Camera bag easy to carry tripod?
hi, i am looking for suggestions about camera bag. do you often carry out your tripod? i want to do so and hence need a camera bag for the job. my tripod is a manfrotto 190Pro which is 56cm heigth and 1.9kg, the tripod head is tree-way and i don't remember how weight it is. in the camera bag, i hope i can put in a Rolleiflex 3.5 as well as a Metz 45 CT-1 flashgun. do you folks get any suggestion? does the Lowepro/Domke/Tenba get one suites me? thanks. - woody Recently, Steven Woody <narkewoody@gmail.com> posted: > hi, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > do you folks get any suggestion? does the Lowepro/Domke/Tenba get one > suites me? thanks. The most convenient solution that I've come up with is using a separate bag for the tripod. I also have "hard" and "soft" camera cases that fit either in the overhead or under the seat on airplanes. The tripod bag has a shoulder strap that makes it easy to carry or tie to the camera bag or case. You can find a pretty broad selection of these things on-line.

It seems I didn't understand your original question... sorry! I do take my Manfrotto for on-location shoots, and the bag makes it a reasonable carry. For me, the main "down side" is that I have to remove the handles from the head to get it into the bag.

I also have a 3rd party bag. I think it's about as light as it will get. For most daylight walking trips, I take an old tripod that has aluminum channel legs and a simple pan head. It's as light as a monopod but a lot sturdier. I suspect that you could get by with a much lighter tripod than the Manfrotto except when you are using your CT-1 mounted with the Rollei. Neil Manfrotto makes a strap, so head and everything can stay connected.

I find a strap easier, as if you carry the tripod on the photo backpack, its in the way every time you want to get something from the backpack.
