Been using mine for over 20 years. I have 2 on my miller. Top for mics, bottom for backup batteries. Trust me, it will save you carrying a bag around while you run-and-gun film.

Can it be used to balance weight when the tripod is on uneven ground?

Yes, it can be. The Manfrotto 166 Tripod Utility Apron can be used to hold a sandbag or stones when you need to add some stability to the tripod.

1. How heavy an obect can it hold? 2. What are the dimensions of the apron?
Asked by: Paul
i can put 3 not-light primes in the compartments comfortably. it rests on top of the highest set of twist locks on my gitzo tripod. the only negative is the wrap arounds are buckles not velcro so taking it on/off frequently is tedious. that said i tend to leave it on and empty it to fold up the tripod. a bit of a pain, but i love having it there to keep filters, cloths, lenses, and other useful items quickly available without having to go back and forth to my bag!

Many reviews mention that the pockets are too small. Would it not be possible simply to cut out one of the dividers and thus have 2 reasonably sized pockets??
Asked by: Stephen
You could do that but it may cause fraying and the stitching to come undone.
