This review is from: HAKUBA USA INC PSTC200 TRIPOD CARRYING CASE (Electronics)

Bought this hoping that it would accommodate the safe transport of both a Manfrotto 680B Monopod with a 234 Manfrotto tilt head with quick disconnet and an o55probx tripod with a Vanguard 200 mid size ball head with quick disconnect. There is plenty of room for both pieces of gear and the zippered front pouch offers additional space for the storage/carry of spare plates, filters, whatever. There is a velcro protected interior pocket to provide storage for still other photographic accessories. My major concern was buying something that would not accommodate the transport of both the mono and the tripod. No problem here.

Now, the only thing I need to arrange for is the "protected carry" of both pieces so they are not banged around to the detriment of either while in transport. To date, have not yet located a "sleeve" that would encapsulate the monopod to cushion it from the other gear in the case. But, I will come up with something, even if I have to get a local seamstress to accommodate protection of the monopod by way of a stiched terricloth "sock" for the mono.

But the bag is for real and complements the Lowepro Slingshot bag I bought for transport of the camera, lens, filters & accessory gear.

Bottom line is that you can't beat this bag for the price. $80-$100 is rediculous for the price of a tripod or mono bag. This one provides significant, comfortable, spacious and protected carry for both tripod & monopod at half the price of what I saw available for buying "brand name" gear.

I am happy with the purchase......appreciate the delivery, which arrived ahead of schedule and the accurate depiction of the product on Amazon. I would not hesitate to recommend this product. I also would not hesitate to recommend Amazon as a primary source for the acquisition of photographic gear and mindful reference to Ace Photo Supply as the ultinmate provider of this piece of gear.

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality tripod case, February 8, 2008

This review is from: HAKUBA USA INC PSTC200 TRIPOD CARRYING CASE (Electronics)

I own a Bogen 3011 and hand carried it throughout Tuscany. It is a very fine tripod, but certainly gets heavy when traveling. When getting my gear ready, I would find myself wondering if it was worth the hassle--not good. This case has changed that equation in favor of the 3011 now. It is well balanced on my shoulder and has ample padding to both prevent dings and avoid knocking people out in crowded areas. The side compartment is a nice touch and holds my filter folio and other small items. It arrived before the estimated ship date. Nice product--recommended.

This review is from: HAKUBA USA INC PSTC200 TRIPOD CARRYING CASE (Electronics)

I have the Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Tripod Legs (Black)and the Manfrotto 488RC2 Midi Ball Head with RC2 Rapid Connect System (3157N)and this works better than the HAKUBA USA INC PSTC100 Tripod Casewhich I reviewed earlier. Plenty of room for both my tripod and the monopod that I plan to buy later. High quality and great storage.
