42" Length
The bag fits a tripod or light stand that folds down to 42". It has a tapered shape to accommodate video tripods with heads attached, and is also convenient for transporting items like umbrellas, boompoles, monopods, and sliders to your location.
Dual-Zippered Opening
The dual-zippered opening helps provide quick access to the contents, while the large sliders are easy to grab and offer smooth action.
Equipment Straps
Interior straps for securing equipment.
Carrying Options
Sturdy dual carry handles are integrated into the bag to support the heaviest loads, and they have a touch-fastener wrap that puts comfort in your hands. A removable shoulder sling affords a convenient option in case your hands are full with other equipment.
Durable Outside, Soft Inside
The bag's exterior is made from lightweight and durable weather-resistant nylon fabric. Inside the bag, your gear is surrounded by a soft nylon fabric lining that won't scratch the finish of your equipment.
Accessory Storage
An external 13-inch accessory pocket is perfect for storing extra quick release plates, remotes, or cables. This pocket comes with a removable divider so you can organize your additional tools. And inside is a touch-fastener compartment for other lighting accessories you need for your shoot.
Lightweight and Thin
The lightweight and thin profile is designed to carry your bulky tripods with ease. You can also use the bag for transporting items that you need to hand-carry to your shoot, such as umbrellas, collapsible softboxes, or boompoles.
Identification Window
This bag has an identification window on the side for your contact information, or for writing down what equipment is inside when used alongside other Ruggard bags.
Rubber Feet
Raised rubber feet on the bottom help in elevating the bag and minimizing any contact with dirt or moisture, as well as preventing undue wear and tear on the bottom of the bag.

Ruggard Deluxe Padded Tripod Case Reviews

Really great case

By Christopher
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-06-30

I am very please with my new light stand case. The material used to make this case is thicker and has more padding than my old case and feels more high end. My old case, which cost about three times more than my new one, had to be replaced because a hole opened up at the bottom. I'm betting that won't happen this time.

well made at very good price

it's very well made, it's the second one I buy and at this price point I trashed it for around 4 years carrying it through NYC.

Will this 42” case hold both my Manfrotto P&T Head MHXPRO-3W & MT190CXPRO3 CF Tripod? If so, would it be only with them joined?
Asked by: David
The Ruggard Deluxe Padded 42" Tripod Case (Black) has an interior space of 42 x 9 x 7" / 106.7 x 22.9 x 17.8 cm. It would be best to measure your tripod/head when fully assembled and closed down to it's smallest size to get an idea of how much space it would take up, but based on the specs on our website, your tripod/head combo should fit.

Will this bag reasonably accommodate two Impact He

Will this bag reasonably accommodate two Impact Heavy-Duty Air-Cushioned Light Stands (BH #IMLS96HABI • MFR #LS-96HABI)?
Asked by: Frank
The Ruggard Deluxe Padded 42" Tripod Case (Black) (B&H# RUBD3042) can accommodate one Impact Heavy-Duty Air-Cushioned Light Stand (Black, 9.5') (B&H# IMLS96HABI) comfortably. Two such stands may not be considered to be reasonably accommodated by some users, so we'd recommend against double stand usage of that stand with this item.

The Ruggard Deluxe Padded 42" Tripod Case (Black) will be just large enough to work with the CAME-TV CAME-15T Pro Carbon Tripod. You do need to take the handle off the head.
