Comments about Gitzo GC-5100 Padded Tripod Bag:
Very durable and padded. Best of all I can fit the Series 5 carbon tripod with kirk King Cobra attached and the Gitzo center post with swiss-arca ball head attached. All in one bag ready at a moment's notice to head out to shoot.

Comments about Gitzo GC-5100 Padded Tripod Bag:
Certainly a bit pricey, but with Gitzo products you come to expect that. I originally purchased the 3100 for used with a 3 series CF tripod, but when outfitted with a Wimberly gimbal head I found the smaller bag slightly too narrow (but long enough). The GC5100 solved this problem for me and provides plenty of room for the set up I have.

I use this bag to protect tripod while traveling in the car. It's the perfect size and weight with just enough padding. I love the zippers ability to go either way.

Comments about Gitzo GC-5100 Padded Tripod Bag:
Much better than the Manfrotto bag. I bought it for the big Manfrotto CF tripod.The Manfrotto bag looks like a good bag but the way the zipper wraps around the top it's difficult to zip and looks like it would become a problem.

Comments about Gitzo GC-5100 Padded Tripod Bag:
Not much to say about this tripod bag; It is adequately padded, and the zipper is heavy-duty enough. Nice dull black color, and the Gitzo logos are small and can be easily removed. Bag can be folded when not in use, unlike the 'formed' bags from Manfrotto. Too bad it's at, or near, list price, but most name-brand photo gear is these days. Stated size is accurate without any extra room to spare, so measure accurately before ordering.

Very nice quality and absolutely needed to carry the tripod. Long enough to add a tripod head.

Comments about Gitzo GC-5100 Padded Tripod Bag:
My Gitzo GT5561SGT tripod with Manfrotto 503HDV head are very easy to both load and unload from the bag. It's a high quality built bag that should last me many years to come.
