Gitzo 1228 Travel bag

Someone recommended this bag to me a while back, and at the time I questioned the fit because the dimensions were very close the tripod size. I took a pop on this and it worked out so well I am posting images.

The bag comes with fabric handles and an integrated shoulder strap. As you can see from the photo, I use my stock D70 camera strap to carry the tripod over my shoulder. I use this bag mainly for storage and transport. As an added bonus, it will also hold a Bogen 680B monopod, as shown. I wrap some bubble wrap around the monopod to keep things from knocking together in the bag.

The tripod has the Markins MP-2 protective pouch installed. This is very handy. I hang it from the tripod's center hook and use it to store my lens cap and sunglasses. If I am carrying the tripod over my shoulder, the pouch adds some protection in case the head bangs into something, like someone's head.

Here is a link to B&H, where they sell it as a "General Brand" under their part number GBTCD27 for $35.
