Gitzo Padded Tripod Bag Reviews

The quality is fine, but way overpriced.

By Barry
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-09-08

The padding is good, but increases the bulkiness. The zippers are very nice. I am not a fan of the metal hooks and straps, I worry about scratching my other gear. It fits my tripod and the ballhead perfectly. I gave it 4 stars because of being overpriced and a bit bulky. Otherwise it is fine.

Great Tripod Bag

This bag is great. It's high quality as expected from Gitzo, and it fits my large tripod setup perfectly. I have the Gitzo GT5543LS Systematic Series 5 Carbon Fiber Tripod (Long) with the Gitzo GS5513S Rapid Center Column and an Arca-Swiss C1 Cube Geared Head on top, which adds several inches of length to an already long tripod. The bag fits this setup like a glove. It offers great protection for my gear and makes it very easy to carry my tripod to and from jobs safely.

Hello,I am thinking of getting this bag with the 3542L legs.Is there a interior pocker in this bag?Please let me know.Thanks.Brett

There seems to be a difference of opinion here, maybe there have been some variations in the product. I just purchased this bag (4/2020)). and it definitely has one zippered internal pocket sewn to the lining. It will not hold something like a tripod head, but should suffice for a few small items (Allen wrench, alternate tripod feet, maybe a thin camera rain cover, etc.)

No. The unit would only allow the tripod to be packed and the ball head would have to be dismounted from the system.
