dawson Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'd like a heavy duty canvas bag to put my tripod legs in to store and transport. Has anyone done this or know where I could get something suitable? Thanks. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawson Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 I think this might work: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tripod-Carrying-Bag-50cm-65cm-70cm-80cm-90cm-100cm-For-Manfrotto-GITZO-SLIK-/140980096375?pt=UK_Men_s_Bags&var=&hash=item20d3118d77 I just need to measure my girth and now I've locked the shed.

dawson Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 It's not just long, it's quite wide too. It needs to be 90cm long and really 18/20cm in diameter. What are punch bag made out of? Would the bottom be durable enough to take the pointed ends of the legs? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I have this one... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Soft-Carry-Case-for-telescope-/160906999189?pt=UK_Telescope_Cases_Bags&hash=item2576cdf595 It is really tough, is well padded and has lots of pockets for other bits. I was lucky to get it from Scope n' Skies Astroboot for just £16 but can't see it on there now. They listed it as being a bit dusty? But it came in a plastic bag looking brand new and and no dust. There are lots of variations if you search ebay and the internet in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Sorry, just checked, it is actually this one that I have... http://www.scopesnskies.com/prod/telescope/accessories/carry-case/astro-carry-case.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Thanks Peter. I'd had a look on ebay but I was searching for tripod bag and couldn't find anything long enough or long and wide enough. That looks good, but I fancied something in the £20 price bracket I'll keep hunting. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 I think this may just do the trick: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-BRITISH-ARMY-KIT-BAG-NATO-Issue-Surplus-Canvas-Duffle-Military-Holdall-/400539940930?pt=UK_Collectables_Militaria_LE&hash=item5d420a7842 James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 My ex army green kit bag has arrived, it folded up nicely and somehow fitted through the letter box. The tripod legs fit in nicely, it's not snug and ideally the bag would be a bit narrower, but it's heavy duty canvas and stitching and will tolerate carrying the tripod legs around. It;s got the names of two ex owners, I might do a bit of research about them, as it would be interesting to know something about where the bag has been before. I've also attached a screen shot of the item off ebay. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
