Manfrotto MBAG90P Padded Tripod Bag (35.4")
Innovative design and style: ballistic nylon, zips and other materials used are of top quality and designed in collaboration with Kata Carrying Systems.
MBAG90P Padded Tripod Bag Key Features
- End Opening Allows for Faster "Quiver" Style Extraction and Insertion of Tripod
- Zip extends down the length of the bag, but also fully opens the top end of the bag, making it easier to get your tripod in and out, as well as being able to extract the tripod quickly.
Can be hand-carried horizontally by the side handle, vertically by the end handle (also useful for storage), or shoulder-carried using the included strap.

Easy-grip zip opening, padded ends |
- Ergonomic Design
- Asymmetric tapered shape allows you to store the tripod with the head attached. Tripod legs fit comfortably in the narrower end (diameter 20cm - 7.87") and extra space is allowed for the larger volume of the head at the wider end (diameter 23cm - 9"). This also means it's easier to put the tripod and head in the bag, even if the head levers and knobs are fitted and jut out slightly.
- Durable Materials, Padded End Cap
- Thermoform padding holds the tripod in place and protects it, especially the head, during transport. Serves a double purpose by protecting you from the tripod's hard edges when carrying it by your side. Logo end cap is padded to offer protection to the tripod head. High quality durable materials, and padded ends protects your tripod throughout.
- Inner Pocket
- Inner pocket holds accessories (such as video head pan bars) where they won't rattle around or get damaged.
- Easy-Grip Zip Opening
- Versatile Carrying Options
- Can be hand-carried horizontally by the side handle, vertically by the end handle (also useful for storage), or shoulder-carried using the included strap.
