In fact, I got an idea for carrying my tripod around at a local sports store. I saw a Nike gym bag that just might fit my Losmandy tripod. I never went back there because we took off for the beach but I think I will go back there soemtime and see if my tripod will fit. Much cheaper than the TeleVue bags. Debbie

I know this sounds a bit unorthodox but you may want to check some musical instrument stores for cases that would fit your mount. I know some people on the Obsession yahoo group use drum cases . . .

Thanks, Deb. That's a good out-of-box thinking solution. - Canopus56
