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

By Michael
Rated 5 out of 5

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.

As read that the Gitzo tripod bag can hold most all the sizes of the Gitzo tripods and possible a gimbal... Though I have the 'KING DADDY' largest tripod 5563GS and the Wimberley Gimbal. Will the Gitzo bag support both of these plus a few small accessories for the tripod and gimbal?
Asked by: Albert
Unfortunately the Gitzo GT5563GS with the Wimberley WH-200 Gimbal mounted will not fit in the Gitzo GC5101 Padded Tripod Bag. The Tripod is 28.7" in length, and the Head is another 9.2". Put together this is 38" in length, which is more than the 35" capacity of this bag. The Manfrotto MBAG100PNHD Tripod Bag Padded 100CM (Black/Red Trim) linked here would be a better fit. https://bhpho.to/3xZy1EP

Will this bag fit combo of Gitzo GT3543LS connected to Gitzo GHFG1 Fluid Gimbal head?
Asked by: Godwin
Yes.. but i believe you will have to disconnect the gimbal head from the tripod. Theirs plenty of room inside the Gitzo bag for the gimbal head to fit as well as the tripod.. Bag is very well made. I'm extremely happy with this product. Expensive but well worth it. I have the new Gitzo fluid gimbal head and gitzo series 5 systematic tripod for this bag.

Asked by: Subrata
No, the Gitzo GT5543LS Systematic Series 5 Carbon Fiber Tripod (Long) is to wide in diameter to fit in the Gitzo GC3101 Padded Tripod Bag.

question

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
Asked by: Anonymous
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.)

Will this bag hold a GT3543XLS with an attached GH3382QD? If so, how tight is the fit? Thanks!
Asked by: Michael
It will not fit with the head in the standard position but if you put the head in the vertical position, it will fit nicely and wont be to snug.

No, this bag is too small given the dimension comparison. I would recommend the GC5101; https://bhpho.to/2DS5pqX
