If you have a shoe repair store close by, check with them.
I have used my local guy to alter and add features to my camera bag, vest and backpack. Prices were reasonable.

Or buy a bottle of Crown Royal Canadian whiskey and use the cloth bag that it comes in! 
I was going to suggest that! Those bags are great for holding board game pieces, too, like Rummikub. 😆

Fold a wash rag or towel around it before you put it in the side pocket. Or slip the tripod feet into a pair of extra socks.

Manfrotto used to make a tripod carry pocket that could be attached to some of their backpacks. I don’t know the model but I have two of them, because they store flat. But other brand tripod mount accessories will work as long as you fit whatever part of the tripod you want in the pocket into it.
You could also use a neoprene bag (I use them to cover the tripod head so it won’t bang into someone’s head…including mine).

Thanks for the suggestion.

Or try a pill bottle, a single serve yogurt plastic cup, or similar. You need something that's rigid enough to support the tripod foot and that won't work a hole into the mesh bottom.
Thanks for that idea.

That's what I would do but just a piece of canvas, a piece from some blue jeans, just simple
That would work considering I have a couple pairs I can't fit into now...lol

I have a bunch of insulated water bottle holders/with belt loops. They work for everything from lenses general tote space for batteries, memory cards, candy bars (don't tell!), and yes water bottles. They come pretty small, so try one inside the mesh, they'll certainly contain the pod legs.

Good idea!

Maybe if you slipped a lens pouch onto the feet before you placed it in the mesh.
That would work.

Have a local tailor sew straps to the bottom of the backpack. You can use Velcro or buckles.
Thanks Jerry

You might consider the water bottle carriers made from webbing and elasticized cord. Check Amazon.

I'd be concerned about the weight of the vertical tripod pushing down on a small area.
I am too Jerry so I've just purchased a carbon fiber travel tripod which is very light. Still I am concerned about wearing out the mesh over time. Thankfully the bottom of this pocket is solid 1" fabric from the bottom up. I have a 6" bag with a drawstring which I think will work to prevent the locking rings of the tripod legs snagging the inside surface of the mesh.

A lot go good advices here. I cary my tripod with its feet in the mesh pocket of the backpack and so far no holes appeared but the mesh stretched in the past years.
Similar to using a lens pouch - if you don't have one you can buy a ditty bag - search amazon for it and there are hundreds if not thousands out there of different materials and sizes. Also outdoor stores have them but probably more expensive.

A photo of your set up would help. But, since it's a backpack, strap the tripod to the shoulder strap where it attached to the pack, and somewhere at the bottom with Velcro. The pocket you're using is not strong enough to support the tripod for long.
Thanks for your suggestion.
