naturegirl Report post Posted November 23, 2011 Just wondering what everyone uses to protect their tripods? I did search the site for posts on this and couldn't find anything. I was thinking about an old camping chair case, but it will be too noisey. I'd like it to attach to my backpack, be quiet, and protect the tripod especially from dust since I'm on the Rhino quite a bit. I can sew something to my backpack if needed or come up with some sort of attachment. Santa was good to me this year and I got new binos and tripod early so I'll have them for the December archery hunt and I want to take very good care of them. Thanks.

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted November 23, 2011 Really no need to protect te tripod. Clean the legs/head every once in a while so they dont get squeaky and rough but other than that, theres no need to keep the paint perfect. I keep mine in the rifle holder part of my Eberlestock.

azslim Report post Posted November 23, 2011 I picked up a case in a swap a few years back for the spotting scope & tripod, gave the tripod away but still have the case. Where do you live? I'm in the NW valley, Glendale. You could look it over and see if you want it. It has a protected pocket for the spotting scope and a flap that covers the tripod. As of now it doesn't attach to a pack, it has it's own carry strap, haven't looked to see if it can be attached to a pack. I was after the tripod for a friend, the case was just extra.

naturegirl Report post Posted November 23, 2011 I honestly didn't think about protecting the tripod either, but it was quite expensive. The place we bought it from suggested it. Makes sense though to try to keep dust out of the moving parts. AzSlim - I'm in Gilbert, but my father-in-law is in Glendale. Do you have a pic of the case you could PM me?

ThomC Report post Posted November 23, 2011 I had my wife make a crude sock out of an old red tee shirt. I was worried about parts falling off in the woods and also I use it for a head cover to block out the light. Red for safety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naturegirl Report post Posted November 24, 2011 I think I'm going to improvise and make my own. I can't seem to find anything that fits what I want. Yes, it is an Outdoorsman, but I still want to protect it especially from the dust. I've never had anything this nice before and I just can't see not trying to baby it. Thanks for all the input. I'm surprised there's not much out there to pick from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
