Gitzo GC1100 Series 1 25.6'' x 3.6'' Tripod Bag - Replaces GE11P (Black)

The GC1100 is a great tripod bag, but the size listed is incorrect. It is actually 3.6 inches diameter by 25.6 inches long according to the Gitzo catalog. I purchased it to use with a GT1531 series 1 tripod and Really Right Stuff BH-30 ballhead, but the bag was a few inches too short so I had to return it. For a shorter tripod or tripod without a ballhead, it would be fine.

I purchased this item for a Gitzo 1541 (i.e. Explorer model, not the smaller traveler version). With a Really Right Stuff BH-30 ballhead and Lever-Release clamp mounted, the bag is a perfect snug fit for the entire set up. I did not need to flip the ballhead so it sits between the legs etc.... just as it would be for use other than needing to extend the collapsible tripod legs. The bag is not an inch longer or shorter. Nicely padded with a sturdy strap too.It's absolutely perfect. I chose this bag because I was put off by some of the other Gitzo tripod bags that were either too short, or had 1 too many compartments. This is nice and compact, and does the job flawlessly.I would definitely recommend it without any hesitation.

I bought this bag to house my Gitzo monopod (GM 3551) with a RRS monopod head (MH-01). This is a hefty investment, and I want a bag that will protect this equipment. Gitzo bags are well-designed, well-built, well-padded, and durable. The material is water resistant, the zippers are heavy duty, and handle is sturdy. I have three Gitzo tripod bags, and I am happy with each of them. These bags are worth the expense to protect your significant tripod or monopod investment.
