Tripod carrying

[Roughrice]

I tie my Bog tripod to my backpack with velcro strap for carrying. Works good.

I sewed some some velcro straps to my back pack and they dont hold securely. Tripod slides up and down in them haven't come up with a good way to solve that yet.

Several years ago I started using tripods for coyote setups and deer from ground blinds. I use the Armageddon Gear Tripod Scabbard (USMC issue) AG0110 @ $99.95 available is lengths to 32" ( Tom Fuller actually built a longer version to fit longer tripod/ball head combo.....Mod7 Hog Saddle; PIG0311-G Field Shooting Tripod; Ball Head GNN XB-52DL) and the Sniper Tripod Sling A0106 @ $64.95. Scabbard has Molle straps on rear to attach to ruck. Sling attached to the tripod goes into the scabbard. Use scabbard for humping gear to the range/field. Use sling between setups. Armageddon Gear is veteran owned by Tom Fuller. Makes great durable, field proven gear. Only change I would add to scabbard is a handle, as found on their Trojan rifle carrier, at balance point on front (opposite the Molle) to facilitate grabbing scabbard alone. Scabbard designed, manufactured for USMC doesn't require this, but I would find it very convenient for certain field scenarios. I actually added one to the special length scabbard.

Check out Tom's video on the Armageddongear.com sight for their Beer Bivy......hilarious!!! "Keeps your beer colder than your Mother-in-law's heart..."

Thank you sir that tripod sling looks like it might be what im looking for.

I strap mine around the top of the tripod (yoke area) to the top center of by pack... it dangles but bothers nothing. I used to put a large rubberband (like mail carriers use) around the bottom and secure it to bottom of pack to stop the dangling but quit only because it takes extra time.

Not a cheap option, but I bought one of these two years ago and I use it for everything from predator hunting to setting up spike camps and just backpack camping. Sure would get the job done.

Thank you all. I ordered the Armageddon Tripod sling. Looks like it should fit the bill perfectly. Basically its what I was trying to make on my own but couldnt pull off.

Like this, but the gun bearer idea is intriguing. I am going to try that.

If I am not using my Bog Pod tripod as a walking stick I usually use small bungie cords to attach it to my day pack.

I do the same thing except flipped over so the rubber feet are pointing up and the ballhead is down in the pocket. Fits great in my Mystery Ranch Sawtooth pack
