Manfrotto Unveils Pro Light Tripod Bags for Enhanced Protection
New Lineup Offers Smart Features for Photographers and Videographers
Manfrotto has expanded its acclaimed Pro Light series with the introduction of three new tripod bags, designed to safeguard valuable equipment during transport. This latest release offers filmmakers and photographers enhanced durability and thoughtful features for carrying their essential support gear.
Designed for Durability and Ease of Use
The new Pro Light Tripod Bag collection is available in three lengths: 69cm, 80cm, and 88cm. Constructed from a robust blend of nylon and polyester, these bags are treated with a water-repellent finish to protect against the elements. Each bag boasts two end carrying handles, a main handle offset to the side for better weight distribution, and a small window for identification cards.
The offset main carrying handle is a notable design choice. Unlike many bags with central handles that can cause awkward tilting due to uneven weight distribution, Manfrotto’s approach aims to provide a more balanced and comfortable carry experience. As noted by early adopters, this small adjustment can make a significant difference during longer transit periods.
Intelligent Interior Features for Organization
Accessing your tripod is streamlined thanks to a large, wide opening on all Pro Light models. This design also allows the bag to function as a convenient workspace or temporary caddy for accessories during shoots. Internally, the bags are fully padded for maximum protection, with a distinct red reinforcement on the side typically housing the tripod head.
Further enhancing organization and security, each bag includes a zippered internal pocket for smaller items like quick-release plates. A discreet, hidden compartment is also integrated, specifically designed to hold a tracking device such as an Apple AirTag, providing peace of mind against loss or theft. An adjustable internal strap with a buckle helps to secure the tripod within the bag, preventing movement and potential damage during transit.
Expanding the Pro Light Ecosystem
This launch follows Manfrotto’s recent introduction of the Manfrotto ONE tripod and continues the brand’s strategy of updating its product lines with the premium Pro Light aesthetic and build quality. Previous iterations of the Pro Light series, such as the backpacks and Cineloader bags, have been praised for their comfort and resilience in diverse shooting environments.
The Pro Light Tripod Bag 69 is priced at $129.95, the Pro Light Tripod Bag 80 at $189.95, and the largest, the Pro Light Tripod Bag 88, is available for $229.95. These new bags are available for purchase now through Manfrotto’s official channels. For more information, prospective buyers can visit the Manfrotto website.
