The Leofoto Universal Tripod Rock Bag creates a compartment between the legs under the tripod platform. This open compartment can be used to place objects with weight to weight the tripod. This can be stones or some sand, but also any other object is possible. By increasing the pressure on the legs, the stability of the tripod is increased. This can be useful when you want to photograph in strong winds. The advantage of a weighted compartment where the weight is distributed over the three legs is that the extra weight cannot start swinging in the wind. As is the case with a sandbag attached to the bottom of the tripod platform. You can also determine the extra weight yourself, up to a maximum of 44 pounds.

Just what I was looking for
I use the Leofoto tripod rock back to wright down my carbon fiber tripod which holds my telescope. It works quite well and does the job, but you have to watch how much wroght you put in it. I gave it four instead of five stars since I felt the velcro that holds on to the tripod legs from the straps could be stronger and heavy duty velcro.
It's good with two minor issues
It's sturdy, strong and carry heavy load. I loaded up to 5 1.5 litter water bottles onto it to stabilize my tripod and it worked out very well. There is two annoying things though. The straps are long and once I compacted the tripod the bag would drop under the tripod and the annoying things happen. Since it dropped lower than the tripod legs, the straps started to twist itself. On top of that, I must be very careful when I extend the tripod and open it again because it may very well fall outside of the center of the tripod and sit on the side of it after I open the tripod. So, if there is a way to make it stay within the tripod center after all the legs are compacted, that would be great! Moreover, as for the straps twisting, it could be easily fixed with an anti-twist connector to keep the straps in order. I hope we are getting an upgrade, improved version to fix these two problems and will for sure of getting one.
