It can also be used to hold a sandbag or stones to lower the center of gravity of your camera/tripod/tripod head combination and add some stability.

We are an HD video production facility and use these aprons for all our field production items. We use two tripods, one for the Varicam, and the second to hold our portable HD monitor. The first apron we bought became so handy that we bought a second to put on the camera tripod. We carry all the little accessories we need quick access to during our shoots - tapes, batts, cables, cold drinks, etc.

Can't work without it...but
I love this apron because I can store anything extra in it as I do my job. OR instead of bringing in all my gear from the car I can quickly throw what I need...Read complete review
I love this apron because I can store anything extra in it as I do my job. OR instead of bringing in all my gear from the car I can quickly throw what I need in the apron for a quick shoot. However, this is the second one I've bought this summer! The first one tore and couldn't be fixed. Kind of disappointing.

Just what you'd expect from Manfrotto. A serious piece of high quality gear. Works perfectly. A little stiff, but I expect that over time it will be perfect. No regrets.

Comments about Manfrotto 166 Tripod Utility Apron:
The bag is built really well and attaches very easily. It stays on the sticks even when folded up and doesn't take up much room. The design is interesting and it looks like it will hold quite a few items but I don't think I require it for filming digital at this time. Probably a purchase I should have waited on but for those who want to keep small items at hand (lens cap, white balance card, light meter, gaff tape, sandwich) this will do the trick and hold your items well.

It is easy to strap the apron to a tripod. There is no need to take the apron off to collapse the tripod either.

Comments about Manfrotto 166 Tripod Utility Apron:
This apron is one of the best things that I bought. Being a cinematographer, I work at a fast pace and the last thing I need is to be fumbling around in my pockets or looking around for my spare batteries, tapes, etc. This keeps all of your needed material close by at arms reach. I highly recommend this product.

Comments about Manfrotto 166 Tripod Utility Apron:
I just leave it on my tripod the whole time. It doesn't get in the way. I love that it holds my tapes and power supply of my camera while filming. I do wish it snapped on and off.
