[Realtree Max5] Often I will stash my Gitzo tripod in the back of my truck, on the floor. Bad things can happen there, but I feel better that these leg protectors are minimizing the damage.

[0.44 lb] The leg protectors do just that. But they also protect hands ... your own. Putting your unprotected hands on the cold surface of tripod or monopod legs can be pretty uncomfortable. The pads are secure and provide protection for your tripod as well as your hands. These pads are a small investment when compared to the hundreds of dollars that you spend on a good tripod.

[Foam, Neoprene] Bought these to prevent dings on my Carbon fiber Gitzo and to make a subzero grab of the tripod not such a jarring experience to my old hands. They are the perfect size and don't obstruct the legs closing up or the movement of the centre column on the tripod. Best of all an unexpected plus... when I hoist the tripod up on my shoulder to move to another spot it is now cushioney-soft. I appreciate that a lot especially at the end of a long day

[Touch Fastener] Provides padding when I carry my heavy lens

[Touch Fastener] GOOD QUALITY, EASY TO INSTALL

[0.44 lb] Carrying my tripod has become much easier and more comfortable because of the tripod legs that cover the metal of the tripod. The legs are not as prone to scratching as well, thus insuring the quality of the tripod.

[Realtree Max5] Got them to protect my tripod from scratches and dings and to make it more comfortable to carry the tripod and heavy lenses over my shoulder. Works well.

[Realtree Max5] I got these for my gitzo 3531lsv and i love them. i frequently walk around with a large lens, camera body etc. attached and the foam padding and neoprene cover make it very comfortable against my shoulder. they fit perfectly and go on super easy. i got one of the neoprene covers pretty muddy at a local pond and i took it off and rinsed it with warm water and soap and it cleaned right up. they also protect the tripod from getting scratched up plus they are more comfortable to grip in the cold weather then the cold carbon fiber legs.

[Touch Fastener] This is a must have product for anyone who does a lot of outdoor/wildlife photography with a long lense. I tend to do a lot of walking with the tripod, camera and 500mm lens on my shoulder and these pads make that much more comfortable (no more bruised shoulders). They also make the tripod much more comfortable on those really cold mornings. One concern I had before purchasing was if the covers would slip. With the sticky tape on the inside of the cover it remains in place with no slippage. For such a simple product it makes hiking/walking with tripod and long lense much more comfortable, allowing you to focus on the task at hand, taking great pictures.

[Realtree Max5] Use the product on a Manfrotto 055. It fits perfect and was easy to install. Gives one good grip when carrying to site. Protects from scratches / bumps when in transit. Each leg guard has a included adhesive that attaches the foam to the leg so it will not shift. Cover is quality material perfect fit. I would definitely purchase to protect your investment in your tripod. Product works and is what LegCoat tripod Leg Protectors says it is. Good Job! and thanks.
