Backpack side mesh pocket
Jan 19, 2023 11:16:11 #
My backpack does not have a dedicated tripod holder. I've since downsized considerably to a new travel tripod. The only way to carry it is to place the foot end down into one of the side mesh pockets on the side and secure with the included strap lock on the top part. Is there anything I could put into the mesh pocket to prevent the tripod feet from snagging and tearing the mesh itself. I've done a lot of research but have not seen any products or suggestions on what might work. I appreciate in advance any suggestions the UHH community might have.

I haven't tried this, but I saw a guy carrying his that way and he had a small piece of leather in the bottom of the pocket that sort of made a heavier bottom to support the tripod. I think if I were to try this, I'd try to sew it in so that it wouldn't move around.

Make a little boot out of cloth material and put elastic in the top of the boot to hold it snug against the tripod legs?

Thanks for your info.

Or buy a bottle of Crown Royal Canadian whiskey and use the cloth bag that it comes in!

Try using a soft medium-sized cloth lens case to enclose the tripod legs. Very often the bottom is reinforced.
Be well! Ed

Cut the top off an appropriate sized water bottle and slide it into the mesh pocket.

Great idea.
The bottle base will probably remain in the pocket, as long as it isn't tight on the tripod.
